The Psalmist gives us an idea of his Hope in the Lord, and it is strong, robust. His hope knows how to endure strife, but the Psalmist is sure that with divine help he will return to the place where he can best worship the Lord. As we pray this psalm, let us remember that our hope must be secure in the Lord. Pope Francis has said: “Hope has a name: it is Jesus. Hope (Jesus) does not disappoint us, because Jesus is faithful.”
