(v. 8-10) (v. 12-14)

B. Wanting insight and recalling B. Still waiting in faith but with
the LORD’s faithfulness increased distress
(v. 4-7) (v. 15-18)

A. Waiting on Yahweh in confident A. Waiting on Yahweh in the
trust in the face of his enemies face of his enemies
(v. 1-3) (v. 19-22)

B. Wanting insight and recalling the LORD's faithfulness (v. 4-7)
C. Growing confidence (v. 8-10)
