Psalms 31:3-11

³(31:4) For my rock and my stronghold art thou; and for the sake of thy name lead me, and guide me.

⁴(31:5) Draw me out of the net which they have laid secretly for me; for thou art my protection.

⁵(31:6) Into thy hand do I commit my spirit: thou redeemest me, O Lord, the God of truth.

⁶(31:7) I hate those that depend on lying vanities; but I trust indeed in the Lord.

⁷(31:8) I will be glad and rejoice in thy kindness; because thou hast seen my misery; thou hast taken cognizance of the distresses of my soul;

⁸(31:9) And thou hast not surrendered me into the hand of the enemy: thou hast caused my feet to stand on an ample space.

⁹(31:10) Be gracious unto me, O Lord, for I am in distress; my eye is consumed through vexation—my soul too and my body.

¹⁰(31:11) For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing, my strength faileth because of my iniquity, and my bones are consumed.

¹¹(31:12) Because of all my assailants am I become a reproach, and unto my neighbors greatly so, and a terror to my acquaintance, those that see me abroad flee away from me.
