Waiting on the Lord

Waiting on God.
[aren't.we.all?]

Doing a word study on waiting. I want to know what the Bible says about waiting. Here's what I'm finding:

1. There is more than one word for "wait" in Hebrew.


H6960 - qavah
1) to wait, look for, hope, expect

a) (Qal) waiting (participle)

b) (Piel)

1) to wait or look eagerly for

2) to lie in wait for

3) to wait for, linger for

2) to collect, bind together

a) (Niphal) to be collected

So how and where is this word used?
