This word conveys a sense of anticipation and trust, not merely a passive waiting but an active, hopeful expectation. In the context of ancient Israel, waiting on the LORD was a common theme, reflecting a deep trust in God's timing and sovereignty. The Israelites often found themselves in situations where they had to rely on God's deliverance, whether in the wilderness or during times of oppression. This phrase encourages believers to maintain their faith and hope in God's promises, knowing that His timing is perfect. be strong and courageous Wait patiently for the LORD Wait . . .--Heb., wait for Jehovah, and wait for Jehovah. Verse 14. - Wait on the Lord. This is an exhortation, not to others, but to himself (comp. Psalm 62:5; and see also Psalm 42:5, 11; Psalm 43:5). His stronger self exhorts his weaker self not to despair, but to wait upon God - to tarry, i.e., the Lord's leisure - and, meanwhile to be of good courage; or, be strong (comp. Deuteronomy 31:6; Joshua 1:6; 1 Chronicles 22:13), as the phrase is elsewhere generally translated. "Be strong," he says to himself, and he (i.e. God) shall strengthen thine heart. "Aide-tot, le ciel l'aidera." Make an effort to be strong, and the strength will be given thee, as thou makest it. Then in this strength, thus given, continue till waiting - Wait, I say, on the Lord.
