Psalm 31: 1-5, 15-16




(1) I find my refuge, Lord, in you;
In justice set me free;
Save me from shame, Lord, hear my prayer,
Make haste, deliver me.

(2) Be my strong rock, my castle, crag,
To keep my life from harm;
For your Name’s sake, lead me, O Lord;
Guide me with your strong arm.



(3) Lord, rescue me from secret snares;
You are my strength, my tower;
I place my spirit in your hands;
You save me by your power.

(4) My times are in your hand, O Lord,
Save me from all distress;
Let your face shine upon me, save
Me in your faithfulness.
