Psalm 31:2, 6, 12-13, 15-16, 17, 25
2Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.
6I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.
12I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
13For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.
15My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
16Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies’ sake.
17Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.
