Psalm 31:1-5

Psalm 31

Prayer and Praise for Deliverance from Enemies

To the leader. A Psalm of David.

1 In you, O Lord, I seek refuge;
    do not let me ever be put to shame;
    in your righteousness deliver me.(A)
2 Incline your ear to me;
    rescue me speedily.
Be a rock of refuge for me,
    a strong fortress to save me.(B)

3 You are indeed my rock and my fortress;
    for your name’s sake lead me and guide me;(C)
4 take me out of the net that is hidden for me,
    for you are my refuge.(D)
5 Into your hand I commit my spirit;
    you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God.(E)

Psalm 31:19-24

19 O how abundant is your goodness
    that you have laid up for those who fear you
and accomplished for those who take refuge in you,
    in the sight of everyone!(A)
20 In the shelter of your presence you hide them
    from human plots;
you hold them safe under your shelter
    from contentious tongues.(B)

21 Blessed be the Lord,
    for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me
    when I was beset as a city under siege.(C)
22 I had said in my alarm,
    “I am driven far[a] from your sight.”
But you heard my supplications
    when I cried out to you for help.(D)

23 Love the Lord, all you his saints.
    The Lord preserves the faithful
    but abundantly repays the one who acts haughtily.(E)
24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage,
    all you who wait for the Lord.(F)

Deuteronomy 30:1-5

God’s Fidelity Assured

30 “When all these things have happened to you, the blessings and the curses that I have set before you, if you call them to mind among all the nations where the Lord your God has driven you(A) 2 and return to the Lord your God, and you and your children obey him with all your heart and with all your soul, just as I am commanding you today,(B) 3 then the Lord your God will return you from your captivity and have compassion on you, gathering you again from all the peoples among whom the Lord your God has scattered you.(C) 4 Even if you are exiled to the ends of the world,[a] from there the Lord your God will gather you, and from there he will take you back.(D) 5 The Lord your God will bring you into the land that your ancestors possessed, and you will possess it; he will make you more prosperous and numerous than your ancestors.

Romans 9:6-13

6 It is not as though the word of God has failed. For not all those descended from Israel are Israelites,(A) 7 and not all of Abraham’s children are his descendants, but “it is through Isaac that descendants shall be named for you.”(B) 8 This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as descendants. 9 For the word of the promise is this: “About this time I will return, and Sarah shall have a son.”(C) 10 Nor is that all; something similar happened to Rebecca when she had conceived children by one husband, our ancestor Isaac:(D) 11 even before they had been born or had done anything good or bad (so that God’s purpose of election might continue, 12 not by works but by his call) she was told, “The elder shall serve the younger.”(E) 13 As it is written,

“I have loved Jacob,
    but I have hated Esau.”(F)
