Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 31:1-24

Psalms 31:0 The Enemies of Israel and the Victory 1. The prayer for deliverance (Psalms 31:1-18 ) 2. The victory (Psalms 31:19-24 ) Psalms 31:1-18 . Many saints have turned to this Psalm for encouragement in time of trouble and sorrow. And there is much in it which helps the trusting soul. Notice the different names of Jehovah--my rock--my house of defense--my strong rock--my fortress--my strength--God of truth. But like the previous Psalms this one also unfolds prophetically the... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 31:1-24

Psalms 25:0 In the Hebrew this prayer is arranged as an acrostic, i.e., the first word of each verse begins with a letter in alphabetical order from A-to-Z. Hereafter we shall not give as much attention to every psalm as we have thus far, but trust the reader to do the analyzing after the examples given. The purpose of this book is not so much textual explanation as a stimulus to Bible study in a broader sense, and it is assumed that the reader has been studying the Bible side by side with the... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 31:6-8

Some of the sweetest views of our Lord, considered as our Redeemer and Surety, are those which represent the unequalled humility of Christ when completing salvation. As the servant of Jehovah, how frequently do we find the meek and lowly Saviour expressing his obedience to the Father, while manifesting his regard to holiness and purity! Who but Christ uniformly set forth a perfect hatred against the doers of iniquity? Who but Christ could say, that he possessed a perfect freedom from the power... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 31:1-8

1-8 Faith and prayer must go together, for the prayer of faith is the prevailing prayer. David gave up his soul in a special manner to God. And with the words, ver. 5, our Lord Jesus yielded up his last breath on the cross, and made his soul a free-will offering for sin, laying down his life as a ransom. But David is here as a man in distress and trouble. And his great care is about his soul, his spirit, his better part. Many think that while perplexed about their worldly affairs, and their... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 31:1-13

The Believer's Humble and Confident Submission to the Hand of God. To the chief musician, for performance in the liturgical part of the Tabernacle worship, a psalm of David, written at some time when he was in very great trouble. Luther rightly makes the application when he writes that the psalm is spoken in the person of Christ and His saints, who are plagued during their whole life, internally by trembling and alarm, externally by persecution, slander, and contempt, for the sake of the Word... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Psalms 31:1-24

Psalms 31:0To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David1 In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust;Let me never be ashamed:Deliver me in thy righteousness.2 Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily:Be thou my strong rock, for a house of defenceTo save me.3 For thou art my rock and my fortress;Therefore for thy name’s sake lead me, and guide me.4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me:For thou art my strength.5 Into thine hand I commit my spirit:Thou hast... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 31:1-13

a Cry out of Deep Trouble Psalms 31:1-13 Some have supposed that this psalm was written during the Sauline persecutions; but it is more likely that it dates from Absalom’s rebellion. It alternates between the depths of despondency and the heights of sublime faith, and well befits those who walk in darkness and have no light, Isaiah 50:10 . It sounds as if the soul were on a wind-swept moor, with no shelter from the storm. All is dark and wild; and it dreads to be caught in the entangling... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 31:1-24

In this great song of trust struggling through tears to triumph, we have a fine example of an experience often repeated in the history of the children of faith. There are three divisions. In the first (1-8), the double sense of trust and trials clearly manifest. In the second (9-18), the trial seems for a time almost to have overcome the trust, so keen is the consciousness thereof. In the last (19-24), trust has completely triumphed and the sense of the singer is the sense of perfect safety in... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 31:7-8

I will be glad and rejoice in your covenant love, For you have seen my affliction, You have known my soul in adversities, And you have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy, You have set my feet in a large place. And as a result of trusting in YHWH he is filled with gladness and rejoicing at His covenant love, that love which was the cause of Him establishing the covenant (‘I am YHWH your God Who delivered you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage’), and which now... read more
