Holy Scripture
Psalms 30:4
A church father on this verse
“One does not sing to the Lord by simply uttering the words of the psalm with his mouth, but all who send up the psalmody from a clean heart and who are holy, maintaining righteousness toward God, these are able to sing to God, harmoniously guided by the spiritual rhythms. How many stand there, coming from fornication?…”

2O Lord, I have hoped in thee; let me never be ashamed: Deliver me in thy righteousness and rescue me.
3Incline thine ear to me; Make haste to rescue me: Be thou to me for a protecting God, And for a house of refuge to save me.
— Psalms 30:4 —
5Thou shalt bring me out of the snare which they have hidden for me; For thou, O Lord, art my defender.
6Into thy hands I will commit my spirit: Thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
