Context of Psalms 31:7
5Into thine hand I commend my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD, thou God of truth. 6I hate them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD. I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast seen my affliction; thou hast known my soul in adversities: 8And thou hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; thou hast set my feet in a large place. 9Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in distress: mine eye wasteth away with grief, yea, my soul and my body.
