6  Many are saying,
"Oh, that we might see better times!" *
 Lift up the light of your countenance upon us, O LORD. 

7  You have put gladness in my heart, *
 more than when grain and wine and oil increase. 

8  I lie down in peace; at once I fall asleep; *
 for only you, LORD, make me dwell in safety. 


Psalm 31  In te, Domine, speravi 

1  In you, O LORD, have I taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame: *
 deliver me in your righteousness. 

2  Incline your ear to me; *
 make haste to deliver me. 

3  Be 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. 

4  Take me out of the net that they have secretly set for me, *
 for you are my tower of strength. 

5  Into your hands I commend my spirit, *
 for you have redeemed me,
 O LORD, O God of truth. 


Psalm 91 Qui habitat 

1  He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High *
 abides under the shadow of the Almighty. 

2  He shall say to the LORD,
"You are my refuge and my stronghold, *
 my God in whom I put my trust."
