SEV Biblia, Chapter 31:5

En tu mano encomendaré mi espíritu; tú me redimirás, oh SEÑOR, Dios de verdad.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 30:5

Verse 5. Into thine hand I commit my spirit ] These words, as they stand in the Vulgate, were in the highest credit among our ancestors; by whom they were used in all dangers, difficulties, and in the article of death. In manus tuas, Domine, commendo spiritum meum, was used by the sick when about to expire, if they were sensible; and if not, the priest said it in their behalf. In forms of prayer for sick and dying persons, these words were frequently inserted in Latin, though all the rest of the prayer was English; for it was supposed there was something sovereign in the language itself. But let not the abuse of such words hinder their usefullness. For an ejaculation nothing can be better; and when the pious or the tempted with confidence use them, nothing can exceed their effect. "Into thy hands I commend my spirit; for thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth." I give my soul to thee, for it is thine: thou hast redeemed it by thy blood; it is safe nowhere but in thy hand. Thou hast promised to save them that trust in thee; thou art the God of truth, and canst not deny thyself. But these words are particularly sanctified, or set apart for this purpose, by the use made of them by our blessed Lord just before he expired on the cross. "And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, pater, eiv ceirav sou paratiqemai to pneuma mou� 'Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit,'" Luke xxiii. 46. The rest of the verse was not suitable to the saviour of the world, and therefore he omits it; but it is suitable to us who have been redeemed by that sacrificial death. St. Stephen uses nearly the same words, and they were the last that he uttered. Acts vii. 59.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-8 - Faith and prayer must go together, for the prayer of faith is the prevailing prayer. David gave up his soul in a special manner to God And with the words, ver. 5, our Lord Jesus yielded up his last breat on the cross, and made his soul a free-will offering for sin, layin down his life as a ransom. But David is here as a man in distress an trouble. And his great care is about his soul, his spirit, his bette part. Many think that while perplexed about their worldly affairs, an their cares multiply, they may be excused if they neglect their souls but we are the more concerned to look to our souls, that, though the outward man perish, the inward man may suffer no damage. The redemptio of the soul is so precious, that it must have ceased for ever, in Christ had not undertaken it. Having relied on God's mercy, he will be glad and rejoice in it. God looks upon our souls, when we are i trouble, to see whether they are humbled for sin, and made better by the affliction. Every believer will meet with such dangers an deliverances, until he is delivered from death, his last enemy.
