Commentaries on Psalms 31:5
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5Into thine hand I commit my spirit - These words, as they stand in the Vulgate, were in the highest credit among our ancestors; by whom they were used in all dangers, difficulties, and in the article of death. In manus tuas, Domine, commendo spiritum meum, was used by the sick when about to expire, if they were sensible; and if not, the priest said it in their behalf.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 5Into thine hand I commit my spirit - The Saviour used this expression when on the cross, and when about to die: Luke 23:46.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 5-65-6. commit my spirit--my life, or myself. Our Saviour used the words on the Cross [Lu 23:46], not as prophetical, but, as many pious men have done, as expressive of His unshaken confidence in God. The Psalmist rests on God's faithfulness to His promises to His people, and hence avows himself one of them, detesting all who revere objects of idolatry (compare De 32:21; 1Co 8:4).Read the comment
