PSALM 31

INTO YOUR HAND I COMMIT MY SPIRIT

David is lamenting his distressful situation, possibly hiding from Saul as Saul tries to take David’s life. David weeps and mourns so much that his eyes, body, and soul feel wasted in grief. 

In verse 5 David says, “Into your hands, I commit my spirit,” telling God he trusts Him with this life. Jesus quotes these words in some of His final breaths on the cross! 

Psalm 31:9 - Oh, how abundant is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you and worked for those who take refuge in you, in the sight of the children of mankind!
