What does Psalm 31:15 mean?

David committed himself to God. He trusted God with his life and believed the Lord would not allow him to perish at the hands of his enemies (Psalm 31:11–13). God would decide the time and way his life would end. Of course, that does not mean David had no preference: he did not want his enemies to snuff out his life. So, he prays for rescue from those persecuting him. No one can predict exactly when his life will end. All anyone can do is commit their life to God and leave the time and way of death to the Lord's plans.

Jesus faced a cruel, violent, abhorrent death on the cross. Yet, He committed himself to the will of the Father. In the garden of Gethsemane Jesus prayed: "My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will" (Matthew 26:39). Every believer can and should commit their life to God and rest with confidence in His will (see Romans 12:1–2).
