O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in you.
Read Chapter 25
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
20. "Keep my soul, and deliver me." Keep my soul, that I turn not aside to imitate them; and draw me out from the confusion wherein they are mingled with me. "Let me not be confounded, for I have put my trust in Thee" (ver. 20). Let me not be confounded, if haply they rise up against me: for not in myself, but in Thee have I put my trust.
