I don't recall ever making the connection that the words of verse 5 were spoken by Jesus on the cross.(Luke 23:46) I am reminded how Jesus sought protection in scripture during his tempation recorded in Matthew 4. And it is equally true that it was scripture that carried him through the last few hours of suffering on the cross. In his agony he cried out David's words of anguish from the begining of psalm 22. Jesus also spoke the words of verse 5 from psalm 31 as well. So Jesus gives us a solid example of how to prepare for the suffering that we will face as this physcal life progresses. We must hide scripture in our hearts. From this treasury we will reap a harvest of righteous living.
It took me nearly 4 minutes to read this psalm.
