Psalms 31:1-24

31:5 | David confidently committed himself to God’s care because God had faithfully delivered him and proved true to His promises. The first line of this prayer appears twice in the NT (Luke 23:46; Acts 7:59) and provides an example for all believers in times of suffering.

31:16-17 | These words echo Aaron’s benediction in Numbers 6:24-26. Both men prayed for God to look on them, smile on them, and bless them.
