Into Your Hand I Commend My Spirit | Psalm 31 Blues Song

✨ Psalm 31 is one of David’s most heartfelt cries of trust and surrender to God. It is both a lament and a declaration of confidence. The psalm moves from deep distress, where David feels forgotten and broken, to a firm proclamation of faith that Yahweh is his rock, fortress, and redeemer.

The most striking line is verse 5: “Into your hand I commend my spirit.” Centuries later, Jesus would take these same words upon His lips as He gave up His life on the cross (Luke 23:46), revealing the eternal power of surrender to God’s perfect will.

David’s words capture the reality of human suffering—grief, betrayal, fear, and weakness—yet they also remind us that no matter how abandoned we may feel, God is always near. His goodness is stored up for those who fear Him, and He hides His children in the shelter of His presence.

This psalm calls believers to three things:

Trust — “My times are in Your hand” (v.15). No matter what happens, our lives are under God’s care.

Endurance — God preserves the faithful and strengthens those who hope in Him (v.23–24).

Surrender — True victory comes when we place our spirit, our very life, into His hands.

Psalm 31 ultimately points us to the cross, where Christ entrusted Himself to the Father and, through His sacrifice, secured eternal refuge for us. In every trial, this psalm teaches us to anchor our hope in Yahweh’s unfailing love.

🎵 Lyrics Song: Psalm 31 - Into Your Hand I Commend My Spirit

[Verse 1]

In you, Yahweh, I take refuge,
Let me never be disappointed.
Deliver me in Your righteousness.
Bow down Your ear to me, deliver me speedily.
Be to me a strong rock,
A house of defense to save me.

[Verse 2]

For You are my rock and my fortress,
Therefore for Your name’s sake lead me and guide me.
Pluck me out of the net they laid secretly,
For You are my stronghold.

[Chorus]

Into Your hand I commend my spirit,
You redeem me, Yahweh, God of truth.
I hate those who regard lying vanities,
But I trust in Yahweh.

[Verse 3]

I will be glad and rejoice in Your loving kindness,
For You have seen my affliction.
You have known my soul in adversities.
You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy,
You have set my feet in a large place.

[Verse 4]

Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am in distress.
My eye, my soul, and my body waste with grief.
My life is spent with sorrow,
My years with sighing.
My strength fails because of my iniquity,
My bones are wasted away.

[Verse 5]

Because of all my adversaries,
I am utterly contemptible to my neighbors,
A fear to my acquaintances.
Those who saw me fled from me.
I am forgotten like a dead man,
I am like broken pottery.

[Verse 6]

For I have heard the slander of many,
Terror on every side,
While they conspire together against me,
They plot to take away my life.

[Chorus]

But I trust in You, Yahweh,
I said, “You are my God.”
My times are in Your hand,
Deliver me from the hand of my enemies,
And from those who persecute me.

[Bridge]

Make Your face shine on Your servant,
Save me in Your loving kindness.
Let me not be disappointed, Yahweh,
For I have called on You.
Let the wicked be disappointed,
Let them be silent in Sheol.
Let the lying lips be mute,
Which speak against the righteous
With pride and contempt.

[Verse 7]

Oh how great is Your goodness,
Which You have laid up for those who fear You,
Which You have worked for those who take refuge in You,
Before the sons of men!
In the shelter of Your presence, You will hide them
From the plotting of man,
You will keep them secretly
From the strife of tongues.

[Verse 8]

Praise be to Yahweh,
For He has shown me His marvelous loving kindness
In a strong city.
As for me, I said in my haste,
“I am cut off from before Your eyes.”
Nevertheless You heard the voice of my petitions
When I cried to You.

[Verse 9]

Oh love Yahweh, all you His saints!
Yahweh preserves the faithful,
And fully recompenses the arrogant.
Be strong, let your heart take courage,
All you who hope in Yahweh.
