Psalm 31E: Psalm 31:1-8

Lancashire, 76.76.D. [A]

1. 1 In You, LORD, I take refuge;
        Ashamed let me not be.
Your righteousness eternal
        Express by saving me;
2 Incline Your ear to hear me;
        With speed deliver me.
To me O be a strong rock,
        A fort to rescue me.

2. 3 You are my rock and fortress;
        For Your sake lead and guide.
4 Free me from nets they've hidden;
        My stronghold You abide.
5 I now commit my spirit
        Into Your outstreched hand.
I know You have redeemed me,
        LORD God of truths that stand.

3. 6 I hate those serving idols;
        My trust is in the LORD.
7 I'll triumph in Your mercy;
        For anguish You regard.
You've known my soul's afflictions,
        8 Kept me from hostile hand.
My feet You have established
        Where they have room to stand.
