The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 31:5-15

Duty and destiny. Let us place these two texts together, and we shall find that they become the more intelligible and the richer in instruction and comfort. I. OUR TIMES ARE FIXED BY GOD . We have no choice in the matter, no more than as to when we should be born. God is Sovereign. It is his prerogative to settle all things that concern us. Whatever comes of prosperity or adversity, or joy or sorrow is of his ordering. It is for him to rule, it is for us to trust and to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 31:8

And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; i.e. "hast not delivered me up, without chance of escape, into the hands of my enemies". Thou hast set my feet in a large room . Given me, i.e; plenty of space and freedom for action; not confined me, nor cramped me, nor hindered me in any way (comp. Psalms 4:1 ; Psalms 18:36 ). Having cheered himself with the enumeration of these grounds of encouragement ( Psalms 31:5-8 ), the psalmist again returns to prayer. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 31:8

Opportunity. The young are eager for opportunities. Conscious of power, they fondly think that, if only a fair chance were to come, they would be sure to make a name for themselves. But they are often disappointed. Perhaps they say it is not their fault; but unprejudiced onlookers see that, through lack of insight, decision, or perseverance, they have failed. They have let the tide. which, taken at the flood, would have led on to fortune, pass by. Life is full of possibilities. It is our... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 31:9

Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble . The psalmist follows up his prayer for mercy by an exposition of his need of mercy. He is in trouble, in sore trouble—"hard pressed," as Hengstenberg translates—distressed both in mind and body. Mine eye is consumed with grief (comp. Psalms 6:7 , where the expression is almost identical). The grief intended is "that produced by provocation or spiteful treatment" (Kay). It causes him to weep so much that his eye is well-nigh "consumed" or... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 31:9-18

A story of suffering and sorrow. The psalmist now, in the spirit of heartfelt trust in the helping grace of God, proceeds first to describe at length his trouble ( Psalms 31:9 , Psalms 31:13 ); and second , to pray for deliverance ( Psalms 31:14-18 ). I. CAUSES OF TROUBLE . ( Psalms 31:9 , Psalms 31:13 .) 1 . Consciousness of sin. ( Psalms 31:9 , Psalms 31:10 .) This was the constant lifelong grief. None but good men feel their sinfulness so acutely. ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 31:9

Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble - The nature and sources of his trouble are specified in the verses following. He seems to have regarded all his trouble as the result of sin, either the sin of his heart, of which he alone was conscious, or of some open act of sin, that had been the means of bringing this affliction upon him, Psalms 31:10. As a consequence of this, he says that he was subjected to the reproach of his enemies, and shunned by his neighbors and his acquaintances;... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 31:7-8

Psalms 31:7-8. Thou hast known my soul in adversities Hast not stood aloof from me, and acted toward me as a stranger, but hast loved me, and cared for me. For knowledge often implies affection. And hast not shut me up Or, suffered me to be shut up; into the hand Or power; of the enemy Of which I was in great and imminent danger, if thou hadst not delivered me. Thou hast set my foot in a large room Made way for me to escape when I was encompassed by them, and set me at liberty. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 31:9-10

Psalms 31:9-10. Mine eye is consumed with grief With continual weeping; yea, my soul My sorrows are not counterfeit, or slight, but inward and penetrating: my mind is oppressed, my heart is ready to sink under my burden; and my belly So the word בשׂני , bitai, signifies: but it evidently means here the whole body, especially the stomach and bowels, which were particularly affected by his trouble and grief. My life is spent The time of my life, as the next clause explains it; with... 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
