Context of Psalms 27:14
12Do not deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, For false witnesses have risen against me, And such as breathe out violence. 13I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord.

Commentaries on Psalms 27:14
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 14Wait on the Lord - All ye who are in distress, wait on the Lord. Take me for an example. I waited on him, and he strengthened my heart; wait ye on him, and he will strengthen your heart. You cannot be unsuccessful; fear not. Wait, I say, on the Lord; wait for his succor in doing his will. Age viriliter, says the Vulgate; act like a man, hope, believe, work, and fear not.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 14Wait on the Lord - This is the sum of all the instruction in the psalm; the main lesson which the psalm is designed to convey. The object is to induce others, from the experience of the psalmist, to trust in the Lord; to rely upon Him; to come to Him in trouble and danger; to wait for His interposition when all other resources fail. Compare Psalm 25:3. Be of good courage - The Hebrew word here means, “be strong.” That is, do not faint. Do not be dismayed…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 7-14Verses 7-14 Wherever the believer is, he can find a way to the throne of grace by prayer. God calls us by his Spirit, by his word, by his worship, and by special providences, merciful and afflicting. When we are foolishly making court to lying vanities, God is, in love to us, calling us to seek our own mercies in him. The call is general, "Seek ye my face;" but we must apply it to ourselves, "I will seek it." The word does us no good, when we do not…Read the comment

This life is not always easy for the faithful (Psalm 42:2–3; 43:5), but their future is secure (37:9; 130:7; see 9:18).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1414. Wait, &c.--in confident expectation. The last clause is, literally, "and wait," &c., as if expecting new measures of help.Read the comment
