A Deliberate Pivot to Hope
Commentators unanimously see this verse as a turning point. The psalmist intentionally shifts his focus from his present despair to God's past faithfulness. Scholars like Calvin and Barnes explain this isn't a passive wish, but a resolute decision to remember God's 'works' and 'wonders.' This act of remembering is presented as a powerful spiritual discipline to combat doubt and find renewed confidence in God's unchanging character.
