The psalm concludes with an affirmation of hope and expectation: let God's covenant loyalty rest upon us as we hope in him. The verb "rest" suggests that God's lovingkindness should continue to sustain and cover the faithful. The phrase "according to our hope in him" emphasizes that God's provision corresponds to the faith and trust of the faithful. The final affirmation transforms the psalm from address to God into a statement of confident expectation. The closing invites the assembly to rest their entire existence on God's covenant loyalty.
