Commentary for Psalms 31:5
Psalm 31:5, "Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth," is part of a lament psalm traditionally attributed to King David. This verse reflects a deep trust in God during a time of distress. The themes present in this verse include trust, surrender, redemption, and the character of God as reliable and truthful.
In the historical context, David, who is often associated with the authorship of many Psalms, may have written this during a period of intense persecution or personal crisis. The phrase "Into thine hand I commit my spirit" expresses a total reliance on God's protection and care, even in the face of death. It is a declaration of surrender, where the psalmist places his life into God's hands, trusting in God's ultimate authority and mercy.
The assertion "thou hast redeemed me" suggests that the psalmist has experienced God's salvation and deliverance in the past, which bolsters his hope and confidence that God will act again on his behalf. The title "LORD God of truth" underscores the psalmist's belief in God's faithfulness and reliability, indicating that God's promises are trustworthy and His nature is true.
This verse also has significant theological resonance in the New Testament, as it is echoed by Jesus Christ on the cross (Luke 23:46), which has led to its association with the themes of sacrifice, atonement, and the hope of resurrection. The verse encapsulates the essence of trust in God's providence and the assurance of redemption that is central to Judeo-Christian belief.
