New King James Version

Psalms 31:1-9 New King James Version (NKJV)

1. In You, O Lord, I put my trust;Let me never be ashamed;Deliver me in Your righteousness.

2. Bow down Your ear to me,Deliver me speedily;Be my rock of refuge,A fortress of defense to save me.

3. For You are my rock and my fortress;Therefore, for Your name’s sake,Lead me and guide me.

4. Pull me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me,For You are my strength.

5. Into Your hand I commit my spirit;You have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.

6. I have hated those who regard useless idols;But I trust in the Lord.

7. I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy,For You have considered my trouble;You have known my soul in adversities,

8. And have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy;You have set my feet in a wide place.

9. Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in trouble;My eye wastes away with grief,Yes, my soul and my body!
