In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.

I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;

And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.

Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.

For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.

I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.

I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.

Psalms 31 Study & Commentary
Psalm 31 is a prayer of trust in the midst of distress. David commits his spirit into God’s hand, a phrase later used by Jesus on the cross, and praises God for His "marvellous kindness."
CONTEMPORARY APPLICATIONS
1. Committing the Spirit: "Into thine hand I commit my spirit" (v. 5). This is the ultimate act of surrender for both life and death.2. A Large Room: God does not shut us up in the hand of the enemy but sets our feet in a "large room" (v. 8). God provides freedom and space for the soul.
3. The Goodness of God: God has "laid up" great goodness for those who fear Him (v. 19). It is a treasure waiting to be revealed.
