Contextual Meaning

David"s confidence in God returned, and he rejoiced in the prospect of the Lord"s deliverance. He encouraged himself and his readers to wait for that rescue, and to strengthen themselves with faith in God (cf. Deuteronomy 31:7; Joshua 1:6-7; Joshua 1:9; Joshua 1:18; Joshua 10:25; 1 Corinthians 16:13).

Believers can remain positive and confident about their spiritual safety as they delight in the Lord. When fear raises its head, the way to defeat it is to return to trust in Yahweh. ^[1]
