Summary/Abstract: The two texts demonstrate the desire for the salvation of God‘s people of the Old Testament and ascribe the glory to God for this salvation. The first text shows the Psalmist and his call for salvation and the second poem portrays the priest Zachariah and his hymn glorifying God for saving Israel. This study brings biblical- heological perspective to the dynamics of life based on faith and hope of God‘s people, between the desire for salvation and the joy in its fulfillment.
