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 They have forgotten me. I might as well be dead. I have become like broken pottery.

13 I hear the lies many people tell about me. There is terror all around me. Many have joined together against me. They plan to kill me.

14 But I trust in you, Lord. I say, "You are my God."

15 My whole life is in your hands. Save me from my enemies. Save me from those who are chasing me.

16 Let your face smile on me with favor. Save me because your love is faithful.
