V15 “My times are in your hand” KJV
‘Hour by hour I place my days in your hand” (Message)
Magic expression! I think it appeals because having wrung his hands in complaint David now hands his life back to God, an expression of ultimate trust. When you think of your times and what you have been through up, down and inside out and to know God just holds all that every way and doesn’t drop you when the going gets tough. He is the God of my every hour, not just when things go right and I am feeling centre, stable and purposeful.
In the end David knows to trust.
Trust knows that there is an end and that God holds the bigger picture.

Jesus’ saying on the cross ‘into thy hands I commit my spirit” V5 is notable here. We probably understand the phrase as an expression of the Son's uncompromising dedication to his Father’s cause being completed in his most trying, dying moment. If that is true it begs an improbable genesis in a Psalm about a lost sinner trying to find contact with God and brethren in an environment non-congenial to reconciliation.
What are we being told here?
Is it that in the pain, remoteness and disconnectedness of personal failure or painful circumstance God actually finds that point of connection with an otherwise self-reliant soul?
That God is bigger than the drama of our sins, that he is the great Conductor that weaves meaning and harmony out of all the disjointed and tangled strains of our life?
Jesus felt that connection in final pain-racked circumstance and the ultimate release associated with it. David found it in the tortuous path back to reconciliation. In the end it was the same experience.
