Psalm 31

1. In Thee, O LORD, I’ve taken refuge.  / Let shame not cover me;  / I put my trust in Thee.  / Come in Thy righteousness and save me  / From those who do not fear Thee;  / My God and Helper, hear me.

2. O LORD, come quickly to my rescue;  / Be Thou my rock and tower.  / To save me show Thy power;  / Thou art my rock and mighty fortress.  / Be Thou my Guide and heed me,  / And for Thy Name’s sake lead me.

3. Out of the net that they have hidden  / Set Thou me free, I pray.  / O LORD, do not delay.  / Into Thy hands I give my spirit;  / I’m ransomed by Thy favor,  / LORD, God of truth, my Savior! / W. van der Kamp, 1967; rev.
