Into Your Hands I Commit My Spirit
(Luke 23:44–49)
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; Rom 10:11Psa 25:2Psa 71:1-3Psa 22:4-5Isa 49:23Psa 143:1Dan 9:16Psa 7:8-9
let me never be put to shame;
save me by Your righteousness.
Incline Your ear to me; Psa 71:2-3Psa 102:2Psa 86:11Jn 4:15-16Deu 32:31Psa 130:21Jn 4:122Sa 22:3
come quickly to my rescue.
Be my rock of refuge,
the stronghold of my deliverance.
For You are my rock and my fortress; Psa 143:10-11Isa 49:10Jhn 16:13Luk 1:79Psa 25:5Psa 79:9Jer 14:7Neh 9:12
lead me and guide me for the sake of Your name.
You free me from the net laid out for me, Psa 25:15Psa 140:52Ti 2:26Psa 19:14Psa 57:6Pro 29:5Psa 124:7Psa 35:7
for You are my refuge.
Into Your hands I commit my spirit; 1 Luk 23:46Act 7:59Deu 32:41Pe 1:18-19Psa 71:232Ti 2:13Heb 6:18Tit 1:2
You have redeemed me, O LORD, God of truth.
I hate 2those who cling to worthless idols, Jon 2:8Psa 24:4Psa 26:51Co 10:201Co 8:4Jer 10:15Jer 10:81Ch 16:28-29
but in the LORD I trust.
I will be glad and rejoice in Your loving devotion, Isa 49:13Isa 63:9Psa 119:1532Ti 2:19Gal 4:9Isa 63:16Jhn 10:27-30Isa 43:2
for You have seen my affliction;
You have known the anguish of my soul.
You have not delivered me to the enemy; Job 36:16Deu 32:30Psa 18:19Psa 4:11Sa 17:461Sa 24:18Isa 19:4Job 16:11
You have set my feet in the open.
Be merciful to me, O LORD, Psa 6:7Psa 88:9Psa 73:26Job 17:7Job 33:19-22Lam 4:17Lam 5:17Psa 102:3-5
for I am in distress;
my eyes fail from sorrow,
my soul and body as well.
For my life is consumed with grief Psa 32:3-4Psa 38:3Psa 88:15Psa 78:33Rom 9:2Job 3:24Psa 102:3-28Psa 13:2
and my years with groaning;
my iniquity has drained my strength,
and my bones are wasting away.
Among all my enemies I am a disgrace, Psa 38:11Psa 88:8Mat 26:56Psa 88:18Isa 49:7Isa 53:3-5Job 19:13-14Psa 41:8-9
and among my neighbors even more.
I am dreaded by my friends—
they flee when they see me on the street.
I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind. Psa 88:4-5Isa 30:14Psa 119:83Psa 2:9Rom 9:21-22Isa 38:11-12Rev 2:27
I am like a broken vessel.
For I hear the slander of many; Jer 20:10Mat 27:1Lam 2:221Sa 20:332Sa 17:1-4Mat 26:3-4Mat 26:591Sa 19:10-17
there is terror on every side.
They conspire against me
and plot to take my life.
But I trust in You, O LORD; Psa 56:3-4Psa 18:2Psa 43:5Mat 26:42Psa 140:6Psa 16:1-2Mat 26:39Psa 63:1
I say, “You are my God.”
My times are in Your hands; Act 1:7Ecc 3:1-8Jhn 17:1Jhn 7:6Psa 142:6Job 24:1Psa 17:8-92Ti 4:6
deliver me from my enemies
and from those who pursue me.
Make Your face shine on Your servant; Psa 4:6Psa 6:4Dan 9:9Psa 80:3Rom 9:15Dan 9:17-18Eph 1:6-7Eph 2:4-7
save me by Your loving devotion.
O LORD, let me not be ashamed, Psa 25:2-3Jer 20:11Isa 41:11-12Psa 115:17Psa 34:5Psa 35:261Sa 2:9Psa 35:4
for I have called on You.
Let the wicked be put to shame;
let them lie silent in Sheol.
May lying lips be silenced— Jud 1:15Psa 94:41Sa 2:3Isa 54:17Act 25:7Jhn 8:44Jhn 8:48Mat 12:24
lips that speak with arrogance against the righteous,
full of pride and contempt.
How great is Your goodness 1Co 2:9Isa 64:4Lam 3:23-251Pe 1:4-5Col 3:2-4Jas 2:5Psa 16:11Psa 126:2-3
which You have laid up for those who fear You,
which You have bestowed before the sons of men
on those who take refuge in You!
You hide them in the secret place of Your presence Psa 27:5Psa 32:7Psa 91:1-4Job 5:21Psa 64:2-4Psa 140:3Psa 140:5Exo 18:11
from the schemes of men.
You conceal them in Your shelter
from accusing tongues.
Blessed be the LORD, 1Sa 23:7-13Psa 17:71Pe 2:9Jer 1:18Psa 118:23Psa 98:1
for He has shown me His loving devotion
in a city under siege.
In my alarm I said, Psa 116:11Heb 5:7Ezk 37:11Job 35:14Jon 2:7-9Psa 6:9Psa 88:161Sa 23:26
“I am cut off from Your sight!”
But You heard my plea for mercy
when I called to You for help.
Love the LORD, all His saints. Psa 97:10Psa 94:2Psa 145:20Jhn 10:27-30Psa 34:9Psa 30:41Sa 2:91Th 4:1
The LORD preserves the faithful,
but fully repays the arrogant.
Be strong and courageous, Psa 27:14Psa 146:5Col 1:11Isa 35:3-4Psa 29:11Heb 12:12-13Psa 138:3Jas 5:10-11
all you who hope in the LORD.
