Psalm 31:1-5

Revised Standard Version

Prayer and Praise for Deliverance from Enemies

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

31 In thee, O Lord, do I seek refuge;
    let me never be put to shame;
    in thy righteousness deliver me!
²Incline thy ear to me,
    rescue me speedily!
Be thou a rock of refuge for me,
    a strong fortress to save me!

³Yea, thou art my rock and my fortress;
    for thy name’s sake lead me and guide me,
⁴take me out of the net which is hidden for me,
    for thou art my refuge.
⁵Into thy hand I commit my spirit;
    thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God.
