Psalm 31

A Prayer of Trust in God#HEBREW TITLE: A psalm by David.

1 I come to you, Lord, for protection;

never let me be defeated.

You are a righteous God;

save me, I pray!

2 Hear me! Save me now!

Be my refuge to protect me;

my defense to save me.

3 You are my refuge and defense;

guide me and lead me as you have promised.

4 Keep me safe from the trap that has been set for me;

shelter me from danger.

5 *Lk 23.46I place myself in your care.

You will save me, Lord;

you are a faithful God.
