Joe: Alrighty then, we got a Bible expert here in the studio, let's hear what he has to say about Psalms 31.

Bible Expert: Well the Psalms are a collection of songs and poems written by David, a King of Israel. This particular Psalm is a prayer for help in times of distress. In it, David expresses his trust in God and asks for protection from his enemies.

Joe: Wow, sounds like David was in a tough spot.

Bible Expert: He was. The Psalm is filled with David's pleas for rescue from the difficult situation he was in. He expresses his faith in God and his hope that God will answer his prayer.

Joe: So did God answer his prayers?

Bible Expert: Well, we don't know for sure, but the implication is that God did answer his prayers and protected him in his time of need.

Joe: Well that's a relief! So what else can you tell us about this Psalm?

Bible Expert: Well, the Psalm is filled with David's gratitude to God. He praises God for his faithfulness and his mercy. He also expresses his trust that God will always be there to provide protection and comfort.
