[Psalms 30](/study/psalms/30) [Psalms 32](/study/psalms/32) ## Commentary To verse 1 [Psalms 31:1](/kjv/psalms/31/1) « To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. » In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness. **A Psalm of David** ] Made, say Vatablus and others, at that time when Saul pursued David in the wilderness of Maon, [1 Samuel 23:24](/kjv/1-samuel/23/24) . But by many circumstances and passages of this psalm it appeareth more probable that it was, as the former, composed when Absalom was up,[2Sa 15:10-12](/kjv/-2sa/15/10-12) Sss [Psalms 31:11-12](/kjv/psalms/31/11-12) ;[Psa 31:22](/kjv/-psa/31/22) of this psalm, with [2 Samuel 17:24](/kjv/2-samuel/17/24) ; [2 Samuel 17:27](/kjv/2-samuel/17/27) ; [2 Samuel 19:33](/kjv/2-samuel/19/33) ; Joseph. Antiq. lib. 7, cap. 9. **** Ver. 1. **In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust** ] *Hic Psalmus varia mixtus et magna effectuum vicissitudine insignis est.* This psalm is strangely mixed and made up of many and divers passions and petitions, according to the change of times and estate. In the time of affliction he prayeth, in the time of consolation he praiseth the Lord, [Ecclesiastes 7:15](/kjv/ecclesiastes/7/15) . In these three first verses is little said but what had been before said, and is already opened. **** **Let me never be ashamed** ] *i.e.* Repulsed, worsted, defeated. **** **In thy righteousness** ] And not according to mine own righteousnes, saith Kimchi, or, according to thy faithfulness. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/search?q={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms/31#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","width":672,"height":448,"caption":"Real Bible Believers"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms/31#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms/31","name":"Psalms 31 - Study King James Bible with trapps complete commentary","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms/31#primaryimage"},"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"Read Psalms 31 with trapps complete commentary commentary. 1 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness. 2 Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou m","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms/31#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms/31"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms/31#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","name":"Home"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study","name":"Study Bible"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary","name":"trapps complete commentary"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms","name":"Psalms"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms/31","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms/31","name":"31"}}]},{"@type":["Person","Organization"],"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","width":512,"height":512},"logo":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo"},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/RBiblebeliever","https://www.facebook.com/RBibleBelievers"]}]} ```
