S – We wait for the Lord; he is our help and shield. 

²¹ For our hearts rejoice in him because we trust in his holy name. 

²² May your faithful love rest on us, Lord, for we put our hope in you. 

Ps 33:20–22 CSB

O – Commentary: The conclusion of the psalm is a reassertion of faith in the Lord. God’s people demonstrate their faith in three ways. First, they wait in hope for deliverance from the Lord as their Help and Shield. Second, they rejoice in Him whom they trust (33:21). Third, they pray for His unfailing love to rest on them. So they are confident (hope) He will consummate His program of salvation

 “Psalms,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures

yâchal, yaw-chal’; a prim. root; to wait; by impl. to be patient

The New Strong’s Dictionary of Hebrew and Greek Words

A – Waiting is often a challenge as we grow our faith in God.  It isn’t easy being patient.  Yet, while we wait, God works for us and protects us.  We can rejoice in Him and his character.  Our love for Him grows as we see His character and actions.  

R – Heavenly Father, thank you for all that you do for us.  We are blessed in many ways.  Thank you for your protection and help – we need it.  We will patiently wait for you to reveal more of your character.  Our faith is in You.
