A Plea for Righteous Deliverance

Psalms 31:1-8

To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. In thee, O Lord, haue I put my trust: let mee neuer be confounded: deliuer me in thy righteousnesse.

Bowe downe thine eare to me: make haste to deliuer mee: be vnto me a stronge rocke, and an house of defence to saue me.

For thou art my rocke and my fortresse: therefore for thy Names sake direct mee and guide me.

Drawe mee out of the nette, that they haue layde priuilie for mee: for thou art my strength.

Into thine hand I commend my spirit: for thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of trueth.

I haue hated them that giue them selues to deceitfull vanities: for I trust in the Lord.

I wil be glad and reioyce in thy mercie: for thou hast seene my trouble: thou hast knowen my soule in aduersities,

And thou hast not shut me vp in the hand of the enemie, but hast set my feete at large.
