Psalms 31:14,15 - Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

‘But I trusted in you, O YHWH,

I said, You are my God.

My times are in your hand,

Deliver me from the hand of my enemies,

And from those who persecute me.

But in spite of all his troubles he is triumphant. He has gritted his teeth, trusted in YHWH, and reminded Him that He is his God, and now he stresses that his times are in His hands. He has no doubt of God's care over him and of His final control. And so again he prays for deliverance from his enemies, and from his persecutors.

Psalms 31:14-15

14 But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.

15 My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
