KEY PASSAGE
1 In You, O Lord, I put my trust; Let me never be ashamed; Deliver me in Your righteousness. 2 Bow down Your ear to me,Deliver me speedily; Be my rock of refuge,A fortress of defense to save me. 3 For You are my rock and my fortress; Therefore, for Your name’s sake,Lead me and guide me. 4 Pull me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me,For You are my strength.5 Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth. 6 I have hated those who regard useless idols; But I trust in the Lord. 7 I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy, For You have considered my trouble; You have known my soul in adversities, 8 And have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a wide place.– PSALM 31:1-8
