Psalms 31:14 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 31:14

But I trusted in thee, O Lord
His faith revived again under all the discouraging views he had of things, and was exercised upon the Lord; he committed himself to him, believing he was able to help him in his time of trouble, and deliver him;

I said, thou [art] my God;
he claimed his covenant interest in him, and used it as an argument with him to have regard unto him, and as a support to his faith in his present distress; (See Gill on Psalms 7:1).

Psalms 31:14 In-Context

12 I have gone from men's minds and memory like a dead man; I am like a broken vessel.

13 False statements against me have come to my ears; fear was on every side: they were talking together against me, designing to take away my life.

14 But I had faith in you, O Lord; I said, You are my God.

15 The chances of my life are in your hand; take me out of the hands of my haters, and of those who go after me.

16 Let your servant see the light of your face; in your mercy be my saviour.
