PSAL. XXXI. To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David.
IN thee, O Lord, I put my trust, let me be shamed never: Accordingly as thou art just, O do thou me deliver. verse 2 Bow down to me thine ear with speed let me deliverance have, My rock of strength, & house of fence O be thou me to save.
verse 3 Because a rock thou me unto and fortress mine wilt be: ⟨p. 80⟩Therefore for thy Names sake, O do thou lead and guide thou me. verse 4 O pull thou me out of the net, which to ensnare me they Full privily for me have set: because thou art my stay.
verse 5 Into thy hands my spirit I reposing do commit: Jehovah God of verity, thou hast redeemed it. verse 6 Who lying vanities embrace such men have I abhorred; But as for me, I wholly place my trust upon the Lord.
