Holy Scripture

Psalms 62:1

A church father on this verse
“From him truly is patience, true patience, holy patience, religious patience, right patience; Christian patience is a gift of God. For many robbers also suffer most patiently; and while not yielding and overcoming the torturer, afterwards are punished with eternal fire. The cause distinguishes the martyr from patience…”
Augustine of Hippo, 5th c. — Sermon 274

— Psalms 62:1 —

2O God, my God, I cry to thee early; My soul has thirsted for thee: How often has my flesh longed after thee, In a barren and trackless and dry land!

3Thus have I appeared before thee in the sanctuary, That I might see thy power and thy glory.
