Psalm 31:2-4
New Catholic Bible
2 [a]In you, O Lord, I have taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame;
in your righteousness deliver me.
3 Turn your ear to me,
and act quickly to save me.
Be to me a rock[b] of refuge,
a strong fortress to save me.
4 You are truly my rock and my fortress;
for the sake of your name,[c] lead and guide me.
