Refuge, Sukkah, Shelter

Psalm 31

For the music director, a psalm of David.
In You, Adonai, have I taken refuge:
Let me never be put to shame.
In Your righteousness, deliver me.
Turn Your ear to me, rescue me quickly.
Be a rock of refuge for me, a stronghold for my deliverance.
Since You are my rock and my fortress,
You lead me and guide me for Your Name’s sake.
Free me from the net they hid for me,
for You are my refuge.
Into Your hand I commit my spirit.[a]
You have redeemed me, Adonai, God of truth.
I detest those who continue to watch worthless idols,
but I trust in Adonai.
I will be glad and rejoice in Your lovingkindness,
for You saw my affliction.
You knew the troubles of my soul.
