Psalms 31:1. In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust;
Can we say as much as that? However else this Psalm of David may end, it strikes a grand key-note, that which should be the first indication of our spiritual life, - confidence in God. Here is an ancient weather-beaten saint who, in the very midst of the storm, can say, "In thee, O Jehovah, do I put my trust." There will the anchor of his soul find a sure hold.
Psalms 31:1. Let me never be ashamed:
"How canst thou let me be put to shame after having trusted in thee, O my God? I shall be ashamed, if thou dost forsake me, if thy promises be not kept to me, O my Lord! Therefore, ‘let me never be ashamed.’"
Psalms 31:1. Deliver me in thy righteousness.
David dares to appeal even to the faithfulness, and truth, and justice of Jehovah, that he should keep the promise upon which his servant had placed his trust.
