A Personal Endorsement
Multiple commentators, especially Charles Spurgeon, highlight that the final phrase, 'Wait, I say, on the Lord,' is David's personal testimony. It's as if he is signing his name to the truth of the psalm, urging readers to trust in a practice he has personally found to be a powerful restorative for the soul. This transforms the command into a heartfelt, experience-based recommendation.
