Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
Therefore I will look unto the Lord - as if no one else were before mine eyes.
I will wait for the God of my salvation. We must not only "look unto the Lord," but also "wait for Him." Having no hope from man, in whom no "trust" can be placed (Micah 7:5-6), the prophet looks unto the Lord. Micah speaks in the name of Israel, who herein, taught By the "visitation" of chastisement (Micah 7:4) to feel her "sin" (Micah 7:9), casts herself on the Lord as her only hope, in patient waiting (Lamentations 3:26). She did so under the Babylonian captivity; she shall do so again hereafter, when "the spirit of grace" shall be "poured" on her (Zechariah 12:10-13).
