Psalms 31:4
2 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.
You free me from the net laid out for me, for You are my refuge.
5 Into Your hands I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O LORD, God of truth.
6 I hate those who cling to worthless idols, but in the LORD I trust.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
