Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible
Psalms 31
Verses 1-24
x x x x x x
XXXI. Prayer in distress strangely intermingled with such confidence in God that the deliverance seems to be already accomplished.
Psalms 31:1-3 a. Recurs with textual variants in Psalms 71:1-3.
Psalms 31:5. The poet commends his spirit to God, that God may preserve it from death. In Luke 22:46 the application is different.—truth: i.e. faithfulness.
Psalms 31:15. The crises of life are in the hands of Yahweh, and Israel has, therefore, no room for such comfort as, e.g., astrology.
Psalms 31:21. The words "in a strong city," make no sense. We may translate, "although in the heat of trouble," or with a slight emendation of MT "in the time of affliction."
