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 become forgotten like [one] dead, out of {mind}. I am like a destroyed vessel.

13 For I hear [the] rumor of many, "Terror on every side!" When conspiring together against me, they have plotted to take my life.

14 But as for me, I trust you, O Yahweh. I say, "You [are] my God."

15 My times [are] in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies and from [those who] pursue me.

16 Shine your face upon your servant. Save me by your loyal love.
