Psalms 27:14

Wait for (put your hope in; bind yourself to) the Lord (Yahweh)
– be strong (overcome)!
Then he will give your heart boldness (give courage and strength to your heart)
– yes, wait for the Lord (Yahweh).
[The psalm ends with three imperatives that form a chiasm (wait for – be strong – wait for). The exhortations, which are both an appeal and a sign of confidence, are directed first and foremost to the psalmist himself. Courage and boldness follow the strength that comes when he "binds himself" to the Lord by focusing on him. These are the same words that God repeatedly speaks to Joshua before the Israelites enter the Promised Land, see Josh. 1:6, 7, 9, 18. The choice of words "the land of the living" in the previous verse reinforces this connection, see verse 13. By repeating qavah, David emphasizes the importance of never ceasing to hope in the Lord (Yahweh). The Hebrew word is rich and can also mean to twist together like a thread—an image of active waiting where the one who turns to God becomes intertwined with him.]
