31 1 David delivered from some great danger, first rehearseth what meditation he had by the power of faith, when death was before his eyes, his enemy being ready to take him. 15 Then he affirmeth that the favor of God is always ready to those that fear him. 20 Finally he exhorteth all the faithful to trust in God and to love him, because he preserveth and strengtheneth them, as they may see by his example.

To him that excelleth. A Psalm of David.

In (A)thee, O Lord, have I put my trust: let me never be confounded: deliver me in thy [a]righteousness.

Bow down thine ear to me: make haste to deliver me: be unto me a strong rock, and an house of defense to save me.

For thou art my rock and my fortress: therefore for thy Name’s sake direct me and guide me.
