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

For I said in my haste,.... When he made haste to get away for fear of Saul, 1 Samuel 23:26; and so the Targum renders it, "I said when I sought to flee away"; or else he said this hastily and rashly, in the hurry of his mind, being in the utmost confusion and distress, as in Psalms 116:11;

I am cut off from before thine eyes; his case was very bad, he was reduced to the utmost extremity, and his faith was as low; he thought it was all over with him, and there was no way of escape, nor hope of it; and that he was like a branch cut off, ready to be cast into the fire; that he was cut off from the house of God, and from communion with him; that he would never look upon him more, and he should never enjoy his presence: this instance of weakness and unbelief is mentioned to illustrate the goodness of God, and to make his kindness appear to be the more marvellous in the salvation of him; so sometimes the Lord suffers his people to be in the utmost distress, and their faith to be at the lowest ebb, when he appears to their help, and makes it manifest that their salvation is by his own arm, and of his own good will, and not by them, or for any goodness of theirs;

nevertheless, thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee; for though faith was very low, and unbelief strongly prevailed, yet he was not so far gone as to stop praying; for though he saw no rational way of escape, and feared the Lord would take no notice of him; yet he knew that nothing was impossible with him, and therefore he still looked up to him, as Jonah did when he thought himself in a like condition, Jonah 2:4; and such was the grace and goodness of God, that he did not despise but regard his prayer, though attended with so much weakness and unbelief.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For I said in my haste - In my fear; my apprehension. The word rendered “haste” means properly that terror or alarm which causes one to flee, or to endeavor to escape. It is not “haste” in the sense of an opinion formed too quickly, or formed rashly; it is “haste” in the sense of terror leading to sudden flight, or an effort to escape. See an illustration of this idea in the case of David himself, in 1 Samuel 23:26.

I am cut off - That is, I shall certainly be cut off or destroyed.

From before thine eyes - Either, in thy very presence; or, so that I shall not be admitted into thy presence. I shall be cut down, and suffered no more to come before thee to worship thee. Compare the notes at Psalms 6:5.

Nevertheless thou heardest ... - Contrary to my apprehensions, I was heard and delivered. God’s mercy went beyond the psalmist’s faith - as it often does to His people now, far beyond what they hope for; far beyond what they even pray for; far beyond what they believe to be possible; so far beyond all this, as to make the result, as in the case of David Psalms 31:21, a matter of wonder and astonishment.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 31:22. I said in my haste — Not duly adverting to the promise of God, I was led to conclude that my enemies were so strong, so numerous, and had so many advantages against me, that I must necessarily fall into and by their hands; however, I continued to pray, and thou didst hear the voice of my supplication.
