The words of verse 3 speak for the multitude that has waited on God. Some wait in vain for God to submit to their demands. Others wait in confusion and agony for a clarity that makes sense only when sin and God's righteousness are ignored. But there are other who refuse to let the sorrow wash away their faith. The wait out of a stubborn determination that God may be silent but he is not idle. Others wait for a physical hope while stilling knowing that the eternal perfect hope is much better. Some wait, their eyes growing dim with age or fatigue, for God to close this chapter of life so that by his grace they might really have life in abundance. Verse 33 confirms the hope; "For the LORD hears the needy...."
It took me about 4 minutes to read this psalm.
