Commentary on Psalms 31:22

Theological / Devotional

Haste. Heb. chaphaz, generally meaning “hurry away,” as in alarm or fright. Compare its use in Deut. 20:3; 2 Sam 4:4. In a single moment of confusion the psalmist despaired, crying out that he was on the point of death. Satan seizes such opportunities to drag us down.
