Psalm 31
David professes his confidence in God, intermixing prayer
to him, ver. 1-8. Complains to God and prays for deliverance, ver.
9-18. Concludes with giving glory to God, and encouraging others
to trust him, ver. 19-24. To the chief musician, A psalm of David.
Verse 1. Ashamed - Of my confidence in thy promise. Deliver me -
According to thy faithfulness and goodness.
Verse 5. My spirit - My soul or life; to preserve it from the malice of
mine enemies. For - Thou hast delivered me formerly, and
therefore I commit myself to thee for the future. O Lord, &c. -
Who hast shewed thyself so, in making good thy promise.
Verse 6. Vanities - Idols, which are often called Vanities, as Deut. xxxii,
Verse 21. Or, curious arts, and all sorts of divinations.
Verse 7. Known - Loved me, and cared for me.
Verse 8. Room - Made way for me to escape, when I was encompassed
by them.
Verse 9. Grief - With continual weeping.
Verse 10. Iniquity - For the punishment of mine iniquity. Consumed -
The juice and marrow of them bring almost dried up with grief.
Verse 11. A fear - They were afraid to give me any countenance or
assistance. Fled - To prevent their own danger and ruin.
Verse 12. A broken vessel - Which is irreparable, and useless, and
therefore despised by all.
Verse 13. Fear - Just cause of fear.
Verse 15. My times - All the affairs and events of my life, are wholly in
thy power.
Verse 19. Laid up - His favour is not always manifested, to them, but it
is laid up for them in his treasure, whence it shall be drawn forth
when they need it, and he sees it fit. Before - Publickly and in the
view of the world.
Verse 20. The secret - Or, as in the secret of thy presence: either,
1. As if they were in thy presence chamber, where thine own eye
and hand girdeth them, from all the assaults of their enemies;
called his secret, partly, because the greatest part of the world are
strangers to God and his presence: and partly, because it is a safe
and secure place, such as secret and unknown places are. Or,
2. As if they were in the secret of God's tabernacle, as it is called,
chap. xxvii, 5, the place of God's special presence, where none
might enter save the high-priest. With thy secret favour and
providence, which saves them by hidden and unknown methods.
From - From their vain-glorious boasting and threats, and from
their bad and insolent attempts. Pavilion - Or, tabernacle. Strife -
From contentious and slandering tongues.
Verse 21. City - In Keilah: where God wonderfully preserved me.
Verse 22. Haste - When my passion took away my consideration, and
weakened my faith. Cut off - Cast out of thy sight, and out of the
care of thy gracious providence.
