Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.
Be of good courage ... hope in the Lord. The Hebrew, "hope" х yaachal (H3176)], expresses intent waiting for Him (Psalms 33:20; Isaiah 42:4 cf. Matthew 12:21, waiting trust, and expectation: Genesis 8:10). Man's part, "Be of good courage," and God's part, "He shall strengthen your heart," here meet in unison, as in Philippians 2:12-13.
