Psalms 31:2
1 In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; save me by Your righteousness.
Incline Your ear to me; come quickly to my rescue. Be my rock of refuge, the stronghold of my deliverance.
3 For You are my rock and my fortress; lead me and guide me for the sake of Your name.
4 You free me from the net laid out for me, for You are my refuge.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
