Context of Psalms 31:4

2Bow down thine ear unto me; deliver me speedily: Be thou to me a strong rock, A house of defence to save me. 3For thou art my rock and my fortress; Therefore for thy name’s sake lead me and guide me. Pluck me out of the net that they have laid privily for me; For thou art my stronghold. 5Into thy hand I commend my spirit: Thou hast redeemed me, O Jehovah, thou God of truth. 6I hate them that regard lying vanities; But I trust in Jehovah.
