Psalms 31:14
But I trust in You, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.”
BSB
ASV
But I trusted in thee, O Jehovah: I said, Thou art my God.
KJV
But I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.
But I trusted in thee, O Lord. Notwithstanding all afflicting circumstances, David's faith maintained its hold, and was not turned aside from its object. What a blessed saving clause is this! So long as our faith, which is our shield, is safe, the battle may go hard, but its ultimate result is no matter of question; if that could be torn from us, we should be as surely slain as were Saul and Jonathan upon the high places of the field. I said, Thou art my God. He proclaimed aloud his determined allegiance to Jehovah.
Two things he comforted himself with in his straits, and he went to God and pleaded them with him:-- 1. " Thou art my God; I have chosen thee for mine, and thou hast promised to be mine;" and, if he be ours and we can by faith call him so, it is enough, when we can call nothing else ours.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
