Psalms 31:1-8

1O Lord, I have come to you for protection; don’t let me be disgraced. Save me, for you do what is right.

2Turn your ear to listen to me; rescue me quickly. Be my rock of protection, a fortress where I will be safe.

3You are my rock and my fortress. For the honor of your name, lead me out of this danger.

4Pull me from the trap my enemies set for me, for I find protection in you alone.

5I entrust my spirit into your hand. Rescue me, Lord, for you are a faithful God.

6I hate those who worship worthless idols. I trust in the Lord.

7I will be glad and rejoice in your unfailing love, for you have seen my troubles, and you care about the anguish of my soul.

8You have not handed me over to my enemies but have set me in a safe place.
