Psalm 31 In te, Domine, speravi
1 In you, O Lord, I seek refuge;
do not let me ever be put to shame;
in your righteousness deliver me.
2 Incline your ear to me;
rescue me speedily.
Be a rock of refuge for me,
a strong fortress to save me.
3 You are indeed my rock and my fortress;
for your name’s sake lead me and guide me,
4 take me out of the net that is hidden for me,
for you are my refuge.
5 Into your hand I commit my spirit;
you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God.
All: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the
eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may
do his will, working in you that which is pleasing in his sight;
through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever.
