Psalm 31:7

A Plea For Protection

⁶
I hate those who pay regard to vain (empty, worthless) idols;
But I trust in the Lord [and rely on Him with unwavering confidence].
⁷ 
I will rejoice and be glad in Your steadfast love,
Because You have seen my affliction;
You have taken note of my life’s distresses,
⁸
And You have not given me into the hand of the enemy;
You have set my feet in a broad place.

Be Glad and Rejoice
