Contextual Overview

²¹ Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this: ²² The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. ²³ Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. ²⁴ I say to myself, "The Lord is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!" ²⁵ The Lord is good to those who depend on him, to those who search for him. ²⁶ So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the Lord . ²⁷ And it is good for people to submit at an early age to the yoke of his discipline: ²⁸ Let them sit alone in silence beneath the Lord 's demands. ²⁹ Let them lie face down in the dust, for there may be hope at last. ³⁰ Let them turn the other cheek to those who strike them and accept the insults of their enemies.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

This I recall to my mind,.... Not affliction and misery, but the Lord's remembrance of his people; what he had been used to do, and would do again; and particularly what follows, the abundant mercy of God, and his great faithfulness; these things the prophet fetched back to his mind; and revolved them in his heart; says he,

and therefore have I hope; this revived his hope, which he was ready to say was perished from the Lord, and there was no foundation for it; but now he saw there was, and therefore took heart, and encouraged himself in the grace and mercy of God.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

This I recall - Rather, “This will I bring back to my heart, therefore will I hope.” Knowing that God hears the prayer of the contrite, he begins again to hope.
