St Augustine Expositions on the Book of Psalms, Psalm XXXI
2. “In Thee, O Lord, have I trusted, let Me not be put to confusion for ever” ( ver. 1 ). In Thee, O Lord, have I trusted, let Me never be confounded, whilst they shall insult Me as one like other men. “In Thy righteousness rescue Me, and deliver Me.” And in Thy righteousness rescue Me from the pit of death, and deliver Me out of their company.
