Psalms 31
American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)
1 Ref In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge; Let me never be put to shame: Deliver me in thy righteousness.
2 Ref Bow down thine ear unto me; deliver me speedily: Be thou to me a strong rock, A house of defence to save me.
3 Ref For thou art my rock and my fortress; Therefore for thy name's sake lead me and guide me.
4 Ref Pluck me out of the net that they have laid privily for me; For thou art my stronghold.
5 Ref Into thy hand I commend my spirit: Thou hast redeemed me, O Jehovah, thou God of truth.
6 Ref I hate them that regard lying vanities; But I trust in Jehovah.
