TEHILLIM 31

1 (For the one directing. Mizmor Dovid)

2 In Thee, Hashem, do I take refuge;

let me never be put to shame;

deliver me in Thy tzedakah.

3 Incline Thine ear to me;

deliver me speedily;

be Thou for me a Tzur Ma’oz,

a Bais Metzudot (fortress) to save me.

4 For Thou art my Sela (rock) and my Metzudah (fortress);

therefore for the sake of Thy Name, lead me, and guide me.

5 Pull me out of the reshet (trap, net)

that they have laid for me;

for Thou art my ma’oz (stronghold).
