Psalm 31:1-5. 15-16

​¹In you, O LORD, I seek refuge;
do not let me ever be put to shame;
in your righteousness deliver me.
²Incline your ear to me;
rescue me speedily.
Be a rock of refuge for me,
a strong fortress to save me.
³You are indeed my rock and my fortress;
for your name’s sake lead me and guide me,
⁴take me out of the net that is hidden for me,
for you are my refuge.
⁵Into your hand I commit my spirit;
you have redeemed me, O LORD, faithful God.
⁶You hate those who pay regard to worthless idols,
but I trust in the LORD.
⁷I will exult and rejoice in your steadfast love,
because you have seen my affliction;
you have taken heed of my adversities,
⁸and have not delivered me into the hand of the enemy;
you have set my feet in a broad place.
⁹Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am in distress;
my eye wastes away from grief,
my soul and body also.
¹⁰For my life is spent with sorrow,
and my years with sighing;
my strength fails because of my misery,
and my bones waste away.
¹¹I am the scorn of all my adversaries,
a horror to my neighbors,
an object of dread to my acquaintances;
those who see me in the street flee from me.
¹²I have passed out of mind like one who is dead;
I have become like a broken vessel.
¹³For I hear the whispering of many —
terror all around! —
as they scheme together against me,
as they plot to take my life.
¹⁴But I trust in you, O LORD;
I say, "You are my God."
¹⁵My times are in your hand;
deliver me from the hand of my enemies and persecutors.
¹⁶Let your face shine upon your servant;
save me in your steadfast love.
