Hope as a Resilient Choice
Commentators emphasize that the psalmist's hope is not a fleeting emotion but a deliberate, continuous choice. Despite opposition and despair, he resolves to "hope continually."

John Gill describes this kind of hope as an "anchor to the soul" during times of trouble, keeping it firm and steadfast.
