Verses 1-24
Psalms 31:0
Psalms 31:5 Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.
Psalms 31:5 “Into thine hand I commit my spirit” - Comments - Jesus quotes from Psalms 31:5 as He died on the Cross (Luke 23:46).
Luke 23:46, “And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit : and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.”
Psalms 31:9-12 David Describes His Grief - In Psalms 31:9-12 David describes the inner emotions of grief. When I have felt grief, and the words of others have come against me, I feel weak; my strength begins to fail within me. I have learned to turn to the Lord in such times, acknowledge my sins, my weaknesses and then cast my life into His hands, trusting Him to work things out. I sit down and pray these Psalms as my prayer of faith, for there is no enough strength within me to find my own words.
