2. I have, saith he, waited for, or expected Jehovah; he uses the same Name of God in his Expectation, that he first fixed on in his Application to him.
And it is not this or that means, not this or that Assistance, but it is Jehovah himself that he expects and waits for. It is Jehovah himself that must satisfy the Soul: his favour and loving kindness; and what flows from them; If he come not himself, if he gives not himself, nothing else will relieve.

3. My soul doth wait or expect; it is no outward duty that ⟨p. 360⟩I am at, no lip-labour, no bodily work, no formal cold careless performance of a duty; no, my soul doth wait: it is soul work, heart work I am at; I wait, I wait with my whole soul.
