Psalms 31:1-8

11Lord, I have come to you to keep me safe. Never let me become ashamed. You always do what is right so please save me!

2Listen to me, and quickly send help to me. Lord, be a rock where I can hide. Be a strong place to keep me safe.

3You are my high rock and my strong place. Because of your good name, lead me and be my guide.

4You are the place where I can hide, so keep me safe. Do not let my enemies' traps catch me.

5I put my life into your hands. I know that you will save me, Lord, because you are a God that I can trust.

6I hate people who worship useless idols. As for me, I trust in the Lord.

7I am very happy because of your faithful love. You see when I suffer. You know when I am very upset.

8You have not put me under the power of my enemies. You have led me into an open place, where I can be safe.
