I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the Lord!
The Hebrew translated here as wait is קָוָה or qavah. This means to eagerly anticipate, hope for, or actively expect.
The Germanic origin of wait suggests to watch with hostile intent as when ambushing. Waiting has become more passive in out times.
But it is worth considering: How would you go about ambushing God. How would you prepare, what would you do, what signs would capture your attention?
Psalm 27
