042) Psalm 31

Psalm 31 To the chief of Musician, a psalm of David.

8.6.8.6

1 IN thee, o Lord, I put my trust, let me be shamed never: according to thy righteousness o do thou me deliver.

2 Bow down to me thine ear, with speed let me deliverance have: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence me to save.

3 Because thou unto me a rock and my fortress wilt be: therefore for thy names sake do thou, lead me and guide thou me.

4 Doe thou me pull out of the net, which they have for me laid so privily: because that thou art to me a sure aid.

5 Into thy hands my spirit I reposing do commit:

Jehovah God of verity, thou hast redeemed it.

6 I hated them that have regard to lying vanity:

7 but I in God trust. I’ll be glad, and joy in thy mercy:

Because thou hast considered my afflicting distress; thou hast my soul acknowledged in painful anguishes;

8 And thou hast not inclosed me within the enemies hand: thou mad’st my feet within the place of liberty to stand.
