Contextual Overview

21But this I call to mind, Therefore I have hope.22It is because of the LORD'S lovingkindnesses that we are not consumed, Because His [tender] compassions never fail. 23They are new every morning; Great and beyond measure is Your faithfulness. 24"The LORD is my portion and my inheritance," says my soul; "Therefore I have hope in Him and wait expectantly for Him." 25The LORD is good to those who wait [confidently] for Him, To those who seek Him [on the authority of God's word]. 26It is good that one waits quietly For the salvation of the LORD. 27It is good for a man that he should bear The yoke [of godly discipline] in his youth. 28Let him sit alone [in hope] and keep quiet, Because God has laid it on him [for his benefit]. 29Let him put his mouth in the dust [in recognition of his unworthiness]; There may yet be hope. 30Let him give his cheek to the one who strikes him; Let him be filled with reproach.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

This I recall to my mind,.... Not affliction and misery, but the Lord's remembrance of his people; what he had been used to do, and would do again; and particularly what follows, the abundant mercy of God, and his great faithfulness; these things the prophet fetched back to his mind; and revolved them in his heart; says he,

and therefore have I hope; this revived his hope, which he was ready to say was perished from the Lord, and there was no foundation for it; but now he saw there was, and therefore took heart, and encouraged himself in the grace and mercy of God.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

This I recall - Rather, “This will I bring back to my heart, therefore will I hope.” Knowing that God hears the prayer of the contrite, he begins again to hope.
