Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 31:1-24
INTRODUCTIONA psalm, in which the psalmist rises by prayer, from trouble, to lively faith and hope in God. The older interpreters founding on the use of the same word in Psalms 31:2-3 (Heb.), and 1 Samuel 23:25, for the most part, refer the psalm to the time when David fled from Saul into the wilderness of Maon. Ewald, Hitzig, and others attribute it to Jeremiah, chiefly because of its plaintive character, and from the fact that certain expressions found in this psalm are also found in Jeremiah... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 31:1-24
Let's turn now in our Bibles to Psalms 31:1-24 . This thirty-first psalm is actually divided into three sections. The first one covering the first eight verses, the second one covering verses Psalms 31:9-18 , and Psalms 31:1-24 : ,the final section from nineteen to the end of the psalm. In the first section of the psalm, with David it is sort of a mixture between trust and trial. In the next section the trial is overcome by the trust. And then in the final section it is the triumph of the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 31:1-24
Psalms 31:5 . Into thine hand I commit my spirit, the words which our Saviour used on the cross, and the words which St. Stephen used the moment before his death, when addressing the Lord Jesus; and most assuredly all the saints would wish to die with the same sentiments, and uttering the same words. Psalms 31:6 . Lying vanities. The prophets often use the words of Moses, Deuteronomy 32:0., in designating idols by the epithet “vanities,” because the gentiles knew not what they... read more

Psalms 31:1-8In Thee, O Lord, do I put my trust. Man trusting in JehovahI. Here is man trusting in Jehovah Is great trials.1. It seems strange that God should allow a man who trusts in Him to become involved in trials. Love is the reason. He knows that oven the best of His children are so fractious and wayward that they need the chastening rod.2. It seems strange that a man should be able to trust God when in trial. Good men can, and have done so. Job: Paul.II. Here is man trusting in Jehovah... read more

Psalms 31:2-8Be Thou my strong rook,. . . for Thou art my rock, “Be . . . for Thou art”It sounds strange logic, “Be . . . for Thou art,” and yet it is the logic of prayer, and goes very deep, pointing out both its limits and its encouragements.If we were to read thus: “Be Thou a strong Rock to me, for a house, a fortress, for Thou art my Rock and my Fortress,” we should get the whole force of the parallelism. Of course the main idea is that of the “Rock,” and “Fortress” is only an exposition of... read more

Psalms 31:7I will be glad and rejoice in Thy mercy, for Thou hast considered my trouble.Divine chastisementsI. That the souls of all God’s people must have their day of adversity, This, indeed, follows from the universal methods by which God governs and upholds the world. The present life is not a state of retribution, or a place where God professes to discriminate visibly between the good and the evil. If God make His sun to shine both on the just and the unjust, what shall forbid His... read more
