John Trapp on Psalms 27:14

Verſ. 14. Wait on the Lord] Expecta, expecta. See how earneſt good David is with himſelf and others; for hee knew mens dullneſſe, and the difficulty of the duty. Religious men find it more eaſie to bear evill, than to wait till the promiſed good bee enjoyed, Heb. 10.36. the ſpoyling of their goods required patience; but this, more than ordinary. Let our diſtance from God, our dependance upon him, and our undone condition without him, bee but conſidered; and wee ſhall bee the willinger to wait, yea to want, and go without ſome things, that we are but too much ſet upon.

Bee of good courage] Be confirmed, hold faſt, play the man (as the Seventy have it, and the Apoſtle uſeth the ſame word, 1 Cor. 16.13.) and let not the big words of thine enemies make thee to caſt away thy confidence, which hath ſo great recompence of reward.

And hee ſhall ſtrengthen thy heart] Or, let thine heart be confirmed, chear up, hold out faith and patience.

Wait I ſay on the Lord] i. e. De die in diem expecta, wait ſtill; do it from one day to another. God is a free agent, neither is it fit for us to ſend for him by a Poſt. Many of his promiſes bear a long date; but they are ſure and infallible. Wait therefore, and why? See Habakkuk. 2.3. with the Note.
