Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
Read Chapter 27
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
14. "Wait on the Lord, quit thyself like a man: and let thy heart be strong, yea wait on the Lord" (ver. 14). But when shall this be? It is arduous for a mortal, it is flow to a lover: but listen to the voice, that deceiveth not, of him that saith, "Wait on the Lord." Endure the burning of the reins manfully, and the burning of the heart stoutly. Think not that what thou dost not as yet receive is denied thee. That thou faint not in despair, see how it is said, "Wait on the Lord."
And let. Hebrew, "and he will strengthen my heart, and wait "(instead of and, Protestants put, without reason, "Wait, I say) on the Lord. "We must do our utmost: yet all our strength must come from God. (Haydock)
The prophet encourageth his own soul to exercise patience, fortitude, and longanimity (Psalm xxx.; Worthington) unto the end. (Worthington)
