40 I ^(A)waited patiently for the Lord;
    he inclined to me and ^(B)heard my cry.

¹⁸ Therefore the Lord ^(A)waits to be gracious to you,
    and therefore he ^(B)exalts himself to show mercy to you.
For the Lord is a God of justice;
    ^(C)blessed are all those who wait for him.

³¹ but ^(A)they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
    they shall mount up with wings ^(B)like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
    they shall walk and not faint.
