8. Lastly,1 because that God often takes a long day for performance of the promise, thou shalt find herein the Doctrine of waiting upon God excellently handled. A duty which we earnestly commend unto thy practice, as suitable to these sad times—Say, Oh say, with the Church,2 In the way of thy judgements, Oh Lord, we have waited for thee: and with the Prophet, I will wait upon the Lord that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, 3and I will look for him. And rest assured, that none of the seed of Jacob shall seek him in vain; he will not disappoint their hope, nor make their faces ashamed that wait for him.
