patience

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.

For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?

They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:

And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.

Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.

O LORD, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke.

By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.

Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.

And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.

Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.

He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.
