For the music director; a psalm of David.
31:1 In you, O Lord, I have taken shelter!
Never let me be humiliated!
Vindicate me by rescuing me!
37:25 I was once young, now I am old.
I have never seen a godly man abandoned,
or his children forced to search for food.
37:28 For the Lord promotes justice,
and never abandons his faithful followers.
They are permanently secure,
but the children of evil men are wiped out.
58:8 Let them be like a snail that melts away as it moves along!
Let them be like stillborn babies that never see the sun!
95:11 So I made a vow in my anger,
‘They will never enter into the resting place I had set aside for them.’”
