Psalm 31

Jesus' last words on the cross come from verse 5 (Luke 23:46). The psalm is deep distress: grief wasting the body, friends crossing the street to avoid him, "like a broken vessel," terror on every side. Then come plain words of trust: "You are my God. My times are in Your hands." Even "I am cut off from Your sight!" is admitted, and God heard anyway.

"My times are in Your hands; deliver me from my enemies and from those who pursue me." (Psalm 31:15)
