Also called: wait on the LORD, delay, how long, patience of the saints, the years between, tarry
This subject covers the years between a promise and its answer, and what Scripture says a person does in them. Bearing with people and delays without letting go belongs to Patience. The expectation the waiting rests on belongs to Hope.

Where Scripture speaks
The passages this subject stands on, in canon order.
And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord. Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.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. The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.Therefore I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
Waiting in Scripture, in full
Waiting in Scripture is the posture of faith when God has promised but not yet delivered — Abraham 25 years for Isaac, Israel 430 in Egypt, David anointed-but-unthroned for years, Simeon and Anna for the consolation of Israel. The Psalms repeatedly command "wait on the LORD" and frame waiting as strength-renewal, not passivity.

What teachers have said
Those that wait upon the Lord, as dependents on him, expectants from him, and suppliants to him, shall inherit the earth, as a token of his present favour to them and an earnest of better things intended for them in the other world. God is a good Master, that provides plentifully and well, not only for his working servants, but for his waiting servants.
Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710
The word קוה kavah, which we translate to wait, properly signifies the extension of a cord from one point to another. This is a fine metaphor: God is one point, the human heart is the other; and the extended cord between both is the earnest believing desire of the soul.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible
Written before 1832.
Patient waiting is necessary that we may fulfill what we have begun to be and, through God's help, that we may obtain what we hope for and believe.
Cyprian· Treatise IX. On the Advantage of Patience 13
Written before 258.
But if from that time it was said, "Yet a little while, and He that shall come will come, and will not tarry," it is plain that now He is nearer. Wherefore also waiting is no small reward.
John Chrysostom· Homily on Hebrews 21
Written before 407.
Wait therefore he will, wait he does, and when Christ comes to heal him, lo! he is waiting his turn. What an attitude for a sinner at Mercy's gate! The man's hopes seemed low enough ere Christ came to him.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871
