A Plea for Righteous Deliverance

Psalms 31:1-8

In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; save me by Your righteousness.

Incline Your ear to me; come quickly to my rescue. Be my rock of refuge, the stronghold of my deliverance.

For You are my rock and my fortress; lead me and guide me for the sake of Your name.

You free me from the net laid out for me, for You are my refuge.

Into Your hands I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O LORD, God of truth.

I hate those who cling to worthless idols, but in the LORD I trust.

I will be glad and rejoice in Your loving devotion, for You have seen my affliction; You have known the anguish of my soul.

You have not delivered me to the enemy; You have set my feet in the open.
