Psalms 31 — Context

For you are my high ridge and my stronghold; for the sake of your own reputation you lead me and guide me.

You will free me from the net they hid for me, for you are my place of refuge.

Into your hand I entrust my life; you will rescue me, O LORD, the faithful God.

I hate those who serve worthless idols, but I trust in the LORD.

I will be happy and rejoice in your faithfulness, because you notice my pain and you are aware of how distressed I am.

You do not deliver me over to the power of the enemy; you enable me to stand in a wide open place.

Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am in distress! My eyes grow dim from suffering. I have lost my strength.
