Psalm 31:2 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 31:2

Bow down thine ear to me
Which is said after the manner of men, who, when they give attention, and listen to anything, stoop, and incline the ear; and this for God to do, as he sometimes does, is wonderful condescending grace!

deliver me speedily;
which shows that he was in great danger, and his case required haste: the Lord does help right early, and is sometimes a present help in time of need, and delivers at once, as soon as the mercy is asked for;

be thou my strong rock:
for shelter and security from enemies, as well as to build his everlasting salvation on, and to stand firmly upon, and out of danger;

for an house of defence to save me;
both for an house to dwell in, Lord being the dwelling place of his people in all generations, and a strong habitation to which they may continually resort; and for protection and safety, their place of defence in him being the munition of rocks, a strong hold, and a strong tower from the enemy.

Psalm 31:2 In-Context

1 Au chef des chantres. Psaume de David. Eternel! je cherche en toi mon refuge: Que jamais je ne sois confondu! Délivre-moi dans ta justice!

2 Incline vers moi ton oreille, hâte-toi de me secourir! Sois pour moi un rocher protecteur, une forteresse, Où je trouve mon salut!

3 Car tu es mon rocher, ma forteresse; Et à cause de ton nom tu me conduiras, tu me dirigeras.

4 Tu me feras sortir du filet qu'ils m'ont tendu; Car tu es mon protecteur.

5 Je remets mon esprit entre tes mains; Tu me délivreras, Eternel, Dieu de vérité!
