Psalm 31

1. In you Lord I have taken refuge:
   let me never be put to shame,
2. deliver me in your righteousness:
   incline your ear to me
   come quickly to my rescue.
3. Be to me a rock of refuge:
   a stronghold to keep me safe.
4. You are to me a rock and a fortress:
   for your name's sake lead me and guide me.
5. Release me from the net they have secretly laid for me:
   for you O Lord are my strength.
6. Into your hands I commend my spirit:
   for you have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
7. You hate those who pay regard to worthless idols:
   but I put my trust in the Lord.
8. I will be glad and rejoice in your mercy:
   for you have seen my affliction,
   and taken heed of my soul's distress.
9. You have not given me up to the power of the enemy:
   you have set my feet where I may walk at liberty.
