Strong's H6960 קָוָה (qavah)

And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.

Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:

The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.

As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work:

If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.

Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.

I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.

They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.

Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.

Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.

The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.

I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.

And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.

What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?

For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.

And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.

And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.

O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.

My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.

Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.

We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.

Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.

When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.

At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.

We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!

Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.

Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul lothed Zion? why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? we looked for peace, and there is no good; and for the time of healing, and behold trouble!

Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O LORD our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made all these things.

All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed her up: certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it.

The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.

Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment and wait on thy God continually.

And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the LORD, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men.
