Psalm 31:1-8

In thee, O Lord, I put my trust,
shamed let me never be;
According to thy righteousness
do thou deliver me.
2 Bow down thine ear to me, with speed
send me deliverance:
To save me, my strong rock be thou,
and my house of defense.

3 Because thou art my rock, and thee
I for my fortress take;
Therefore do thou me lead and guide,
ev'n for thine own name's sake.
4 And sith thou art my strength, therefore
pull me out of the net,
Which they in subtlety for me
so privily have set.

5 Into thine hands I do commit
my sp'rit: for thou art he,
O thou, JEHOVAH, God of truth,
that hast redeemèd me.
6 Those that do lying vanities
regard, I have abhorred:
But as for me, my confidence
is fixèd on the Lord.

7 I'll in thy mercy gladly joy:
for thou my miseries
Considered hast; thou hast my soul
known in adversities:
8 And thou hast not enclosèd me
within the en'my's hand;
And by thee have my feet been made
in a large room to stand.
