Psalms 31 — Context

In you, O Lord, have I put my hope; let me never be shamed; keep me safe in your righteousness.

Let your ear be turned to me; take me quickly out of danger; be my strong Rock, my place of strength where I may be safe.

For you are my Rock and my strong tower; go in front of me and be my guide, because of your name.

Take me out of the net which they have put ready for me secretly; for you are my strength.

Into your hands I give my spirit; you are my saviour, O Lord God for ever true.

I am full of hate for those who go after false gods; but my hope is in the Lord.
