span data-lang="lat" data-trans="jvl" data-ref="psa.31.1" class="versetxt"> Ipsi David intellectus. [Beati quorum remiss� sunt iniquitates,
et quorum tecta sunt peccata.
Beatus vir cui non imputavit Dominus peccatum,
nec est in spiritu ejus dolus.
Quoniam tacui, inveteraverunt ossa mea,
dum clamarem tota die.
Quoniam die ac nocte gravata est super me manus tua,
conversus sum in �rumna mea, dum configitur spina.
Delictum meum cognitum tibi feci,
et injustitiam meam non abscondi.
Dixi: Confitebor adversum me injustitiam meam Domino;
et tu remisisti impietatem peccati mei.
Pro hac orabit ad te omnis sanctus
in tempore opportuno.
Verumtamen in diluvio aquarum multarum,
ad eum non approximabunt.
Tu es refugium meum a tribulatione qu� circumdedit me;
exsultatio mea, erue me a circumdantibus me.
Intellectum tibi dabo, et instruam te in via hac qua gradieris;
firmabo super te oculos meos.
Nolite fieri sicut equus et mulus,
quibus non est intellectus.
In camo et freno maxillas eorum constringe,
qui non approximant ad te.
Multa flagella peccatoris;
sperantem autem in Domino misericordia circumdabit.
L�tamini in Domino, et exsultate, justi;
et gloriamini, omnes recti corde.]

Gill's Notes on the Bible

My times [are] in thy hand,.... And not in the hand of his enemies; as his time of life and death, which was only by the direction and appointment of God, was in his power, and fixed by him; nor could his enemies take away his life before his time, and without the will of his covenant God: the time of his coming to the throne, and what was gone over him during his reign hitherto, 1 Chronicles 29:30; and all his times of trouble in it; times of prosperity and of adversity; of darkness, desertion, and temptation; and of joy, peace, and comfort; these were all in the hands of the Lord, at his disposal, and ordered by him for the good of his servant, and for the glory of his own name; and this was a quieting consideration to the psalmist under his present trials and exercises; the Targum is, "the times of my redemption"

deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me; a good man has many enemies, and even his very goodness creates him such; for wicked men are enemies to all that is good; and those are persecuting ones, in one way or other; either by words or deeds; and deliverance out of their hands is by the Lord, who sometimes gives his people rest from adversity, and suffers not the rod of the wicked to continue on them; and therefore it is best to apply to him for it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

My times are in thy hand - That is, I said this in my trouble; when my friends forsook me, and when my enemies came around me and threatened my life. The meaning is, that all that pertained to him was under the control and at the disposal of God. He would “live” as long as God should please. It was His to give life; His to preserve it; His to take it away. All in relation to life - its origin - its continuance - its changes - its seasons - childhood, youth, middle age, old age - all was in the hand of God. No one, therefore, could take his life before the time that had been appointed by God, and he might calmly commit the whole to him. This we may feel in all seasons of life and in all times of danger; of sickness; of feebleness. We shall live as long as God has appointed; we shall pass through such changes as he directs; we shall die when and where and how he chooses. In the faithful discharge of our duty, therefore, we may commit all these things to him, and leave all at his disposal.

Deliver me from the hand of mine enemies - That is, since all these things are under thy control; since thou hast power over my life and over all that pertains to me, I pray that thy power may be exerted in my behalf, and that my life may be rescued from danger. This was his prayer in the midst of his troubles, and this prayer was heard.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 31:15. My times are in thy hand — The events of my life are under thy control. No danger can happen to me without thy foresight; thou seest what is prepared for or meditated against me; thou canst therefore deliver me from mine enemies.
