Footnotes

  1. 31:6 Into your hands I commend my spirit: in Lk 23:46 Jesus breathes his last with this Psalm verse. Stephen in Acts 7:59 alludes to these words as he is attacked by enemies. The verse is used as an antiphon in the Divine Office at Compline, the last prayer of the day.

Into your hands I commit my spirit;(A)
    deliver me, Lord, my faithful God.(B)

I hate those who cling to worthless idols;(C)
    as for me, I trust in the Lord.(D)
I will be glad and rejoice in your love,
    for you saw my affliction(E)
    and knew the anguish(F) of my soul.
