Psalms 31:1-8

1I have taken refuge in you, O Lord. Never let me be put to shame. Save me because of your righteousness.

2Turn your ear toward me. Rescue me quickly. Be a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me.

3Indeed, you are my rock and my fortress. For the sake of your name, lead me and guide me.

4You are my refuge, so pull me out of the net that they have secretly laid for me.

5Into your hands I entrust my spirit. You have rescued me, O Lord, God of truth.

6I hate those who cling to false gods, but I trust the Lord.

7I will rejoice and be glad because of your mercy. You have seen my misery. You have known the troubles in my soul.

8You have not handed me over to the enemy. You have set my feet in a place where I can move freely.
