Psalm 31 moves twice from deep anguish to renewed trust, showing that faith often needs to be reaffirmed in the midst of ongoing trials. David entrusts his life into God’s hands, confident that the Lord sees his affliction, redeems him, and will set his feet in a broad place. Jesus’ use of verse 5 on the cross invites us to place our own lives—and even our final breath—into the care of our faithful Redeemer.
