045) Psalm 31
6.6.8.6.
1 Defend me, Lord, from shame, for still I trust in thee; As just and righteous is thy Name, from danger set me free.
2 Bow down thy gracious ear, and speedy succor send; Do thou my steadfast rock appear, to shelter and defend.
3 Since thou, when foes oppress, my rock and fortress art, To guide me forth from this distress thy wonted help impart.
4 Release me from the snare which they have closely laid, Since I, O God my strength, repair to thee alone for aid.
5 To thee, the God of truth, my life, and all that’s mine, (For thou preserv’dst me from my youth,) I willingly, resign.
6 All vain designs I hate, of those that trust in lies; And still my soul in every state to God for succor flies.
