Psalm 31:3-8,17-21

Yes, you are my rock and my fortress; for your name's sake lead me and guide me, 
take me out of the net which is hidden for me, for you are my refuge. 
Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O LORD, faithful God. 
You hate those who pay regard to vain idols; but I trust in the LORD. 
I will rejoice and be glad for your steadfast love, because you have seen my affliction, you have taken heed of my adversities, 
and have not delivered me into the hand of the enemy; you have set my feet in a broad place. 
Let me not be put to shame, O LORD, for I call on you;  let the wicked be put to shame, let them go dumbfounded to Sheol. 
Let the lying lips be dumb, which speak insolently against the righteous  in pride and contempt. 
O how abundant is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, and wrought for those who take refuge in you, in the sight of the sons of men! 
In the covert of your presence you hide them from the plots of men;  you hold them safe under your shelter from the strife of tongues. 
Blessed be the LORD, for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me when I was beset as in a besieged city.
