Psalm 31:1-8

Psalm 31In Hebrew texts 31:1-24 is numbered 31:2-25. 1For the director of music. A psalm of David. In you, LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; deliver me in your righteousness.

2Turn your ear to me, come quickly to my rescue; be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me.

3Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me.

4Keep me free from the trap that is set for me, for you are my refuge.

5Into your hands I commit my spirit; deliver me, LORD, my faithful God.

6I hate those who cling to worthless idols; as for me, I trust in the LORD .

7I will be glad and rejoice in your love, for you saw my affliction and knew the anguish of my soul.

8You have not given me into the hands of the enemy but have set my feet in a spacious place.
