Psalms 31:5
Into Your hands I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O LORD, God of truth.
BSB
ASV
Into thy hand I commend my spirit: Thou hast redeemed me, O Jehovah, thou God of truth.
KJV
Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
Into thine hand I commit my spirit. These living words of David were our Lord's dying words, and have been frequently used by holy men in their hour of departure. Be assured that they are good, choice, wise, and solemn words; we may use them now and in the last tremendous hour. Observe, the object of the good man's solicitude in life and death is not his body or his estate, but his spirit; this is his jewel, his secret treasure; if this be safe, all is well. See what he does with his pearl!
"Lord, however it goes with me, as to my body, let it go well with my soul." Note, It is the wisdom and duty of every one of us solemnly to commit our spirits into the hands of God, to be sanctified by his grace, devoted to his honour, employed in his service, and fitted for his kingdom.
By Stephen's example we are taught in, our dying moment, to eye Christ at God's right hand, and to commit our spirits to him: Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. David is here to be looked upon as a man in distress and trouble. And, [1.] His great care is about his soul, his spirit, his better part.

Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
