• Book 1, Series 5. The Jews restored. (““The Placement of the Psalms in Prophecy”” by B. Anstey)
• Psalm 31 is the expression of entire confidence in Jehovah—God known in our relationship with Him in the most terrible circumstances of trial and distress and that where sin has brought it on; yet where faith is at work, and the known name of God counted on and therefore His righteousness in making it good. (“Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 29-32” by J.N. Darby)
• The special character of the psalm is trust, and, from personal knowledge of Jehovah, the committing one's case to Him. This is a deep principle of true piety—such a knowledge of the Lord such faith in what He is, that the soul can trust Him and cast all on Him, when distress and hostility comes to an extremity. (“Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 29-32” by J.N. Darby)
• I should not say that such is the brightest exercise of faith. This will be found, for example, more in the Epistle to the Philippians, the bright expression of normal Christian experience. Nor is it the commonest: but God, in His rich mercy, has in His word met every need, and made provision in His word for every state. And the state of soul here is one of much exercised depth and intimacy of confidence in God only, learned through needed distress. (“Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 29-32” by J.N. Darby)
• The confidence of the godly man when in the depth of distress that he will be delivered from all his enemies by the righteousness of God. (“Psalms 31” by H. Smith)
