What Does the Bible Say About Hope?
We can experience hope because of God and in God. God gives hope to the hopeless.
He shines His light in the darkness. He heals the broken hearted and the broken world. Hope exists because of His redemption.
The Book of Psalms are full of hope. The Psalms point to a celebration of hope we have in the Lord God.
Psalms strengthen our faith. They can lighten our heart and heartache. They can also give us hope for the future and a clear vision of the hope we have in the Lord.
Here are ten Psalms that share the hope we have in the Lord.
Psalm 27:13-14 KJV – The Lord’s Goodness
I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord. Psalm 27:13-14 KJV
Psalm 37:1-6 KJV – Trust in the Lord
Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

Psalm 34:17-20 KJV – The Lord Hears, Delivers, Saves, & Keeps
The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken
