From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Be of good courage -See a similar exhortation at the close of a psalm, inPsalms 27:14. Compare the notes at that verse. As the result of all his own experience of the goodness of God, and of His gracious interposition in the time of danger, the psalmist exhorts others to be encouraged, and to feel assured that God would not leave or forsake them. And he shall strengthen your heart -He will animate you; he will enable you to meet trial and opposition; he will keep you from becoming faint and disheartened. All ye that hope in the Lord -All that put their trust in him, or all whose expectation is from him.
