What the Fathers say

Psalms 31:24

Western Saints

Augustine of Hippo

"Quit you like men, and let your heart be strengthened" [Psalm 31:24]: working good without fainting, that you may reap in due season. "All you who trust in the Lord:" that is, you who duly fear and worship Him, trust ye in the Lord.

Exposition on Psalm 31 ↗

Thomas Aquinas

Then when he adds, "Act manfully," he orders them as to their action. First, that they be strong in work, when he says, "Act manfully": Prov. 18: "He who is soft and lax in his work is the brother of him who wastes his own works." Likewise, that they be strong in heart: "And let your heart be strengthened": Ps. 26: "Wait for the Lord, act manfully, and let your heart be strengthened, and wait for the Lord."
