5. Into thine hand I commit my spirit. These
living words of David were our Lord’s dying words, and have been frequently
used by holy men in their hour of departure. Be assured that they are good,
choice, wise, and solemn words; we may use them now and in the last tremendous
hour. Observe, the object of the good man’s solicitude in life and death is not
his body or his estate, but his spirit; this is his jewel, his secret treasure;
if this be safe, all is well. Thou hast redeemed me, O God of truth.
Redemption is a solid basis for confidence. David had not known Calvary as we
have done, but temporal redemption cheered him; and shall not eternal
redemption yet more sweedy console us? Past deliverances are strong pleas for
present assistance.
