David’s repetition is slightly different here. This time, he is commanding his soul to wait in silence. In our chaotic world, the natural resting place of our soul is not silence, so we must be purposeful with it. He inserts hope here. That our hope is from the Lord. He continues reminding himself who God is. He has one more shift. This time around, he adds that his glory rests on God. Glory is an odd word to use, but really,  here it’s the same as reputation. Reputations are a fickle business when we leave them in the hands of anyone but God. Here’s the reminder of what heaven’s opinion of you is. That God saw your brokenness and your inability to fix it. He sent his only beloved Son down to earth to take on flesh. To live the life you could not live and to die a horrific death that you deserved. That’s your glory when you trust in the Lord. David moves from personal to corporate when he commands the people to trust in him. The command to pour out our hearts before him. That’s prayer. The focus of David in the midst of adversity is to meet with the Lord in prayer. That is where we find refuge.
