Psalms 31:1-5

¹To victory, the psalm of David. Lord, I have hoped in thee, be I not shamed without end; deliver thou me in thy rightfulness or rightwiseness.

²Bow down thine ear to me; haste thou to deliver me. Be thou to me into God a defender, and into an house of refuge; that thou make me safe.

³For thou art my strength and my refuge; and for thy name, thou shalt lead me forth, and shalt nourish me.

⁴Thou shalt lead me out of the snare, which they hid to me; for thou art my defender.

⁵I betake my spirit into thine hands; Lord God of truth, thou hast again-bought me.
