Psalms 31:1

¹¹For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”

²My God, I have trusted in you. Don’t let me be shamed. Don’t let my enemies triumph over me.

¹In you, LORD, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed. ²Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me. ³Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.

⁴Our fathers trusted in you. They trusted, and you delivered them. ⁵They cried to you, and were delivered. They trusted in you, and were not disappointed.

²³Kings shall be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. They will bow down to you with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of your feet. Then you will know that I am the LORD; and those who wait for me won’t be disappointed.”

¹Hear my prayer, LORD. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.

¹⁶Lord, according to all your righteousness, please let your anger and your wrath be turned away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain; because for our sins and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people have become a reproach to all who are around us.

⁸The LORD administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me, LORD, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me. ⁹Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous God.

¹Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.

⁵and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
