Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.
commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing: To "commit" (paratitheemi) is "to place down (from oneself or for oneself) with anyone, to deposit; to entrust, to commit to one’s charge" (Thayer 486-2-3908). The picture is of one who turns over a deposit to one who is trusted. What a beautiful thought!
