Context of Psalms 31:4

2Incline thine ear to me, deliver me speedily; be a strong rock to me, a house of defence to save me. 3For thou art my rock and my fortress; and, for thy name's sake, thou wilt lead me and guide me. Draw me out of the net that they have hidden for me; for thou art my strength. 5Into thy hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah, [thou] God of truth. 6I have hated them that observe lying vanities; and as for me, I have confided in Jehovah.
