"Into your hands I commit my spirit." I wonder if Jesus had Psalm 31:5 in mind when he was dying on the cross, because his words are an exact replica of David's.
Some commentaries (click here) suggest that this verse was simply very appropriate for Jesus at this time because he was in a time of great trouble, as was David when he originally penned these words. I would agree with this idea. It's a comfort to know that even Jesus had a use for the psalms. Poetry can express our feelings to God more adequately than prose can at times.
