6Many are saying,
“Oh, that we might see better times!” *
Lift up the light of your countenance upon us, O Lord.
7You have put gladness in my heart, *
more than when grain and wine and oil increase.
8I lie down in peace; at once I fall asleep; *
for only you, Lord, make me dwell in safety.
Psalm 31 In te, Domine, speravi
1In you, O Lord, have I taken refuge; let me never be put to shame: *
deliver me in your righteousness.
2Incline your ear to me; *
make haste to deliver me.
3Be my strong rock, a castle to keep me safe,
for you are my crag and my stronghold; *
for the sake of your Name, lead me and guide me.
4Take me out of the net that they have secretly set for me, *
for you are my tower of strength.
5Into your hands I commend my spirit, *
for you have redeemed me,
O Lord, O God of truth.
Psalm 91 Qui habitat
1He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High *
abides under the shadow of the Almighty.
2He shall say to theLord,
“You are my refuge and my stronghold, *
my God in whom I put my trust.”
