Yet I will quietly wait for the day of trouble to come upon people who invade us.16I heard and trembled within; my lips quivered at the sound. Decay entered my bones; I trembled where I stood. Yet I must wait patiently for the day of distress to come upon the people who invade us.

18yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will take joy in the God of my salvation.18yet I will exult in the LORD; I will rejoice in the God of my salvation!
