Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 31:23
EXHORTATION FOR ALL GOD'S SAINTS TO TRUST HIM"Oh love Jehovah, all ye saints:Jehovah preserveth the faithful,And plentifully rewardeth him that dealeth proudly.Be strong and let your heart take courage,All ye that hope in Jehovah."In these verses we have the essence of the great lesson which all true believers should observe and take to heart. "It amounts to this: `Don't ever lose faith in Him.'"[19]"Reason says, "Love and trust the Lord." Gratitude says, "Love and trust the Lord." Experience... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 31:1-24
Psalms 31This lament-thanksgiving psalm grew out of an experience in David’s life in which his foes plotted to kill him. That incident reminded David that the Lord would protect those who trust in Him. He urged others who might encounter similar affliction to love and trust in God as well. read more

6. David’s exhortation to the godly 31:23-24David urged those who hope in God to love Him purposefully because He is faithful to save the godly. He wanted to encourage others as they waited for Yahweh’s salvation.What about the godly who have perished at the hands of evil oppressors? Our lives do not end when we die. In the light of New Testament revelation we know that God will vindicate the righteous after death if He allows us to fall before the wicked in this life. When David lived he had... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 31:1-24
The writer of this Ps. gratefully records God’s past deliverances (Psalms 31:1-8), appeals to God for help against the enemies who assail him in the present (Psalms 31:9-18), and ends with fervent thankfulness and serene assurance (Psalms 31:19-24). The language suggests a later age than David’s, and has many parallels with the book of Jeremiah, the most evident being in the words ’terror on every side’ (Psalms 31:13, Jeremiah 20:10). These parallels are mostly in the central section (Psalms... read more

(23) Preserveth the faithful.—Or, perhaps, by rendering by the abstract instead of the concrete, keeps faith. The LXX. and Vulg. have “requireth truths.” read more

The Large Room Psalms 31:8 To many people these seem strange words to come from the lips of age and experience. It is youth and inexperience that find the world a large room. The writer of those words had left his childhood far behind him. He had entered into manhood's inheritance of duty and responsibility. He had been many a time over-caught in the coil of adverse circumstance; he had sorrowed and suffered and sinned; he had faced temptation and found bitter proof of his own weakness; he had... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 31:1-24
Psalms 31:1-24THE swift transitions of feeling in this psalm may seem strange to colder natures whose lives run smoothly, but reveal a brother-soul to those who have known what it is to ride on the top of the wave and then to go down into its trough. What is peculiar to the psalm is not only the inclusion of the whole gamut of feeling, but the force with which each key is struck and the persistence through all of the one ground tone of cleaving to Jehovah. The poetic temperament passes quickly... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 31:1-24
Psalms 31:0 Trust amid apparent hopelessnessIn his distress David is dependent entirely on the merciful goodness of God (1-2). He knows God’s character well enough to be assured that God will save him (3-5). God will bring victory to those who trust in him, and judgment on those who reject him for other gods (6-8).Nevertheless, the psalmist’s faith is at times shaken by the intensity of his sufferings. Physically and spiritually he feels helpless almost to the point of despair (9-10). Enemies... read more
