A Plea for Righteous Deliverance

Psalms 31:1-8

To the Overseer. --A Psalm of David. In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age, In Thy righteousness deliver me.

Incline unto me Thine ear hastily, deliver me, Be to me for a strong rock, For a house of bulwarks to save me.

For my rock and my bulwark art Thou, For Thy name's sake lead me and tend me.

Bring me out from the net that they hid for me, For Thou art my strength.

Into Thy hand I commit my spirit, Thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah God of truth.

I have hated the observers of lying vanities, And I toward Jehovah have been confident.

I rejoice, and am glad in Thy kindness, In that Thou hast seen mine affliction, Thou hast known in adversities my soul.

And Thou hast not shut me up, Into the hand of an enemy, Thou hast caused my feet to stand in a broad place.
