Context of Psalms 31:5
3For you are my high ridge and my stronghold; for the sake of your own reputation you lead me and guide me. 4You will free me from the net they hid for me, for you are my place of refuge. Into your hand I entrust my life; you will rescue me, O Lord, the faithful God. 6I hate those who serve worthless idols, but I trust in the Lord. 7I will be happy and rejoice in your faithfulness, because you notice my pain and you are aware of how distressed I am.

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.

- 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
