4You will pull me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me, For You are my strength. 5Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have ransomed me, O Lord, God of truth. I hate those who regard vain idols, But I trust in the Lord. 7I will rejoice and be glad in Your lovingkindness, Because You have seen my affliction; You have known the troubles of my soul, 8And You have not given me over into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a large place.

Commentaries on Psalms 31:6
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 6I have hated them - That is, I have abominated their ways. Idolaters are the persons of whom David speaks. I trust in the Lord - While they trust in vanities vain things; (for an idol is nothing in the worid); and in lying vanities; (for much is promised and nothing given); I trust in Jehovah, who is God all-sufficient, and is my Shepherd, and therefore I shall lack no good thing.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 6I have hated them that regard lying vanities - This is evidently stated as a reason for the prayer offered in the previous verses.

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
