Psalm 31:1-7

Listen to Psalm 31:1-7
1 Dem Vorsänger. Ein Psalm von David. Auf dich, Jehova, traue ich; laß mich nimmer beschämt werden; errette mich in deiner Gerechtigkeit!
2 Neige zu mir dein Ohr, eilends errette mich! Sei mir ein Fels der Zuflucht, ein befestigtes Haus, um mich zu retten!
3 Denn mein Fels und meine Burg bist du; und um deines Namens willen fĂĽhre mich und leite mich.
4 Ziehe mich aus dem Netze, das sie mir heimlich gelegt haben; denn du bist meine Stärke.
5 In deine Hand befehle ich meinen Geist. Du hast mich erlöst, Jehova, du Gott der Wahrheit!
6 Gehaßt habe ich die, welche auf nichtige Götzen achten, und ich, ich habe auf Jehova vertraut.
7 Ich will frohlocken und mich freuen in deiner Güte; denn du hast mein Elend angesehen, hast Kenntnis genommen von den Bedrängnissen meiner Seele,

Psalm 31:1-7 Meaning and Commentary

To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David. This psalm, according to Arama, was composed by David when in Keilah; but, according to Kimchi and others, when the Ziphites proposed to deliver him up into the hands of Saul; and who, upon their solicitations, came down and surrounded him with his army, from whom in haste he made his escape, and to which he is thought to refer in Psalm 31:22. Theodoret supposes it was written by David when he fled from Absalom, and that it has some respect in it to his sin against Uriah, in that verse.
