I

In you, Lord, I take refuge;(A)
    let me never be put to shame.
In your righteousness deliver me;
    incline your ear to me;
    make haste to rescue me!
Be my rock of refuge,
    a stronghold to save me.
For you are my rock and my fortress;(B)
    for your name’s sake lead me and guide me.
Free me from the net they have set for me,
    for you are my refuge.
[a]Into your hands I commend my spirit;(C)
    you will redeem me, Lord, God of truth.

Footnotes

  1. 31:6 Into your hands I commend my spirit: in Lk 23:46 Jesus breathes his last with this Psalm verse. Stephen in Acts 7:59 alludes to these words as he is attacked by enemies. The verse is used as an antiphon in the Divine Office at Compline, the last prayer of the day.

15 But I trust in you, Lord;
    I say, “You are my God.”(A)
16 My destiny is in your hands;
    rescue me from my enemies,
    from the hands of my pursuers.

20 How great is your goodness, Lord,
    stored up for those who fear you.
You display it for those who trust you,
    in the sight of the children of Adam.
