Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your
heart
(See Gill on Psalms
27:14); by this instance of God's wonderful kindness to
the psalmist, he would have the saints take heart, and be of good
cheer, even in the greatest distresses, since their case cannot
be worse than his was; and yet he had deliverance out of it;
all ye that hope in the Lord;
for the eye of the Lord is on such, and he takes delight in them,
( Psalms
33:18 ) ( 147:11 ) .
The Targum is, "who hope for", or "trust in the word of the
Lord"; the essential Word, the promised Messiah.
