A Plea for Righteous Deliverance

Psalms 31:1-8

In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge; Let me never be put to shame: Deliver me in thy righteousness.

Bow down thine ear unto me; deliver me speedily: Be thou to me a strong rock, A house of defence to save me.

For thou art my rock and my fortress; Therefore for thy name’s sake lead me and guide me.

Pluck me out of the net that they have laid privily for me; For thou art my stronghold.

Into thy hand I commend my spirit: Thou hast redeemed me, O Jehovah, thou God of truth.

I hate them that regard lying vanities; But I trust in Jehovah.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy lovingkindness; For thou hast seen my affliction: Thou hast known my soul in adversities;

And thou hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; Thou hast set my feet in a large place.
