A Sudden Turn of Faith
Commentators highlight the dramatic shift from the psalmist's deep sorrow to triumphant confidence. This change isn't due to altered circumstances but from an internal assurance given by God's grace that his prayer has been heard. This teaches that faith can grasp victory and find peace even before the answer is visibly manifest.
