Psalm 31

Prayer and Praise for Deliverance from EnemiesTo 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.

2 Incline your ear to me;  rescue me speedily. Be a rock of refuge for me,    a strong fortress to save me.

3 You are indeed my rock and my fortress;    for your name’s sake lead me and guide me;

4 take me out of the net that is hidden for me,    for you are my refuge.

5 Into your hand I commit my spirit;    you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God

Psalm 31:15-16

15 My times are in your hand;    deliver me from the hand of my enemies and persecutors.

16 Let your face shine upon your servant;    save me in your steadfast love.
