Psalms 31:24

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Be of good courage (see the comment on Psalms 27:14). And he (i.e. God) shall strengthen your heart. "To those who have it shall be given." If they did their best to "be of good courage" when danger and difficulty assailed them, then God would give them supernatural aid, strengthening their hearts with his gracious favour. All ye that hope in the Lord; literally, all ye that hope for the Lord; i.e. that hope for his help—that wait on him (see Job 14:14; and comp. Psalms 33:18, Psalms 33:22), and look to him as your Deliverer.
