The Lord Jesus prayed this Psalm towards the end of His earthly ministry in Luke 23:46. Despite the magnitude of the attacks of the enemies against the Lord, God delivered Him from adversity, and he did not suffer shame and defeat.
If you are overwhelmed and in despair due to the unpleasant prevailing circumstance in your life...
If you have been deceived, disappointed, betrayed and abused; and you don't know anyone you can count on... don’t give up.
Adopt Jesus’ surviving and victorious strategy! Pray as David prayed in Psalm 31, and be delivered from your enemies!
Our Lord Jesus also prayed the psalm at a crucial period during His last hour here on earth, He was strengthened, overcame all His adversities and He was victorious.
If you pray these prayers along with your regular prayers, at least three times daily for seven days, you shall be victorious over all your adversities in the name of Jesus.
Tip: You can enhance the potency of these prayers by combining the prayer with fasting for at least 3 days.
Psalms 31:1
In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust;
let me never be ashamed:
deliver me in thy righteousness.
Prayer: O Lord, in thee do I put my trust like King David, let me never be put to shame. Please deliver me from all the craftiness of all my enemies, just as you delivered King David of old, deliver me in your righteousness in the name of Jesus.
Psalms 31:2
Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily:
be thou my strong rock,
for a house of defense to save me.
Prayer: Lord hear my heart, and the sound of my voice: envelop me with your impenetrable fortress and save me and my household in the name of Jesus.
Psalms 31:3
For thou art my rock and my fortress;
therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me
Prayer: Lord, all my life you have always been my protector: that is why my pursuers have not been able to capture me. Therefore, don’t delay in rescuing me from the enemies, for your honor and the mightiness of your name, lead me out of the wilderness of oppression, and guide me in the way that I should go, in the name of Jesus.
Psalms 31:4
Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me:
for thou art my strength.

Psalms 31:5
Into thine hand I commit my spirit:
thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.
Prayer: Almighty God, you are the only one who is capable of keeping that which is kept in your hand. I hereby commit my spirit, my soul, my body and all that constitute my life into your hand. For you are able to redeem me, please perfect all that concerns me in the name of Jesus.

I have hated them that regard lying vanities:
se, let me not be put to shame. Rescue me speedily from my enemies in the name of Jesus.
Psalms 31:7-8
I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy:
for thou hast considered my trouble;
thou hast known my soul in adversities;
And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy:
thou hast set my feet in a large room.
Prayer: Almighty God, I know that you care about my anguish, you have delivered me before from many troubles, you liberated me when the evil one thought they had got me. Please help me now, and put all those who are threatening to destroy me to shame in the name of Jesus.
Psalms 31:9
Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble:
my eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
Prayer: Almighty God, by your mercy, deliver me from all the troubles that I am ensnared in , and all the entrapment of those who are trying to ridicule your glory and goodness in my life in the name of Jesus.
Psalms 31:10
For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing:
My strength faileth because of my iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
Prayer: Everlasting father, you are the Lord that changes time and season, change my life's seasons from that of grief, sighing and sorrow to the seasons of unsolicited favor, abundant joy, peace, happiness and advancement : for you have not separated me from my mother’s womb only to abandon me into the hands of those that hate me. Cause your original intents and purpose to begin to materialize in my life from this moment moving forward in the name of Jesus.
