Psalms tonight, Lord willing, we'll begin in Psalm 31 and make our way through to Psalm 34.

So why don't we pray?

And we'll ask God to bless our time together in His word if you would join with me.

Loving Heavenly Father, loving heavenly father were wanting tonight to posture ourselves before you with open hearts humble hearts so that we can receive from you that which you desire to minister to us in

the time that we have together here in the book of Psalms. We love your word, Lord, and we love you.

And we thank you for your word. And we thank you for what you're going to do tonight

in speaking into our lives in and through your word.

Lord, we're so thankful for the Psalms.

We're so thankful that David was inspired, pardon me, to write these Psalms.

For us, all of these generations later, to find such comfort and such solace and such grace and such wisdom.

And so Lord, as we now begin our study in your word, would you bless our time together?

Lord, thank you. In Jesus' name, amen. All right,

let's jump in. Psalm 31, to the chief musician. Pardon me, I'm so sorry. It is another Psalm of David,

verse one, in you, O Lord, I put my trust.

Let me never be ashamed.

Deliver me in your righteousness.

Bow down your ear to me.

Deliver me speedily. Be my rock of refuge a fortress of defense to save me

for you are my rock and my fortress therefore for your namesake lead me and me. Pull me out of the net which they have

secretly laid for me. For you are my strength. Into your hand, verse five, I commit my spirit. The apostle, Paul, refers to this, but certainly Jesus on the cross echoed these exact words.

And the Holy Spirit had inspired David to write these words.

Into your hand, I commit my spirit.
