¹⁰ After waiting another seven days, Noah released the dove again.

⁴ Seven days from now I will make the rains pour down on the earth. And it will rain for forty days and forty nights, until I have wiped from the earth all the living things I have created.”

²⁵ But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.)

Psalm 40

For the choir director: A psalm of David.

¹² He waited another seven days and then released the dove again. This time it did not come back.

¹⁰ After seven days, the waters of the flood came and covered the earth.
