Psalms 31:1-8

1In You, O Lord, I put my trust; Let me never be ashamed; Deliver me in Your righteousness.

2Bow down Your ear to me, Deliver me speedily; Be my rock of refuge, A fortress of defense to save me.

3For You are my rock and my fortress; Therefore, for Your name’s sake, Lead me and guide me.

4Pull me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me, For You are my strength.

5Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.

6I have hated those who regard useless idols; But I trust in the Lord.

7I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy, For You have considered my trouble; You have known my soul in adversities,

8And have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a wide place.
