Psalms 31:6
4 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.
I hate those who cling to worthless idols, but in the LORD I trust.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in Your loving devotion, for You have seen my affliction; You have known the anguish of my soul.
8 You have not delivered me to the enemy; You have set my feet in the open.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
