THE MESSAGE
Desperate, I throw myself on you: you are my God! Hour by hour I place my days in your hand, safe from the hands out to get me. Warm me, your servant, with a smile; save me because you love me. Don't embarrass me by not showing up; I've given you plenty of notice. Embarrass the wicked, stand them up, leave them stupidly shaking their heads as they drift down to hell. Gag those loudmouthed liars who heckle me, your follower, with jeers and catcalls.

Contextual Overview

⁹Be gracious and compassionate to me, O LORD, for I am in trouble; My eye is clouded and weakened by grief, my soul and my body also. ¹⁰For my life is spent with sorrow And my years with sighing; My strength has failed because of my iniquity, And even my body has wasted away. ¹¹Because of all my enemies I have become a reproach and disgrace, Especially to my neighbors, And an object of dread to my acquaintances; Those who see me on the street run from me. ¹²I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind; I am like a broken vessel. ¹³For I have heard the slander and whispering of many, Terror is on every side; While they schemed together against me, They plotted to take away my life. ¹⁴But as for me, I trust [confidently] in You and Your greatness, O LORD; I said, "You are my God."¹⁵My times are in Your hands; Rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from those who pursue and persecute me. ¹⁶Make Your face shine upon Your servant; Save me in Your lovingkindness. ¹⁷Let me not be put to shame, O LORD, for I call on You; Let the wicked (godless) be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead). ¹⁸Let the lying lips be mute, Which speak insolently and arrogantly against the [consistently] righteous With pride and contempt.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But I trusted in thee, O Lord,.... His faith revived again under all the discouraging views he had of things, and was exercised upon the Lord; he committed himself to him, believing he was able to help him in his time of trouble, and deliver him;

I said, thou [art] my God; he claimed his covenant interest in him, and used it as an argument with him to have regard unto him, and as a support to his faith in his present distress; :-.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

But I trust in thee, O Lord - In these times of trial - when Psalms 31:9 his eye was consumed with grief; when Psalms 31:10 his years were spent with sighing, his strength failed, and his bones were consumed; when Psalms 31:11 he was a reproach among his neighbors, and dreaded by his acquaintances; when Psalms 31:12 he was forgotten as a dead man; and when Psalms 31:13 he was surrounded with causes of alarm. Then he trusted in God. His confidence did not fail. He believed that God was his Father and Friend; that He was on the throne; that He could protect and defend him; and he left himself and his cause with Him. In such circumstances as these there is no other sure refuge but God; at such times the strength of faith is shown, and then is seen pre-eminently the power and value of religion.

I said, Thou art my God - Thou art all that is implied in the name “God;” and thou art mine. He felt assured that God would not forsake him, though men did; that he might confide in Him, though his earthly friends all turned away. There is always one (God) who will not leave or forsake us; and the friendship and favor of that One is of more value to us than that of all other beings in the universe combined.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
