Confidence from God's Action
The psalmist's declaration, "Now know I," signifies a shift from petition to assurance. Commentators like Barnes and Calvin explain that this confidence isn't baseless but arises from seeing evidence of God's favor, such as the community's earnest prayers or God's past faithfulness. This teaches that our faith can be actively strengthened when we recognize God's tangible work in our lives.
