       God, and the rock of my salvation.

      2 Nephi 4:31

       of the hands of mine enemies? Wilt thou make me that I may shake

       at the appearance of sin?

      2 Nephi 4:32

       32 May the gates of hell be shut continually before me, because

       that my heart is broken and my spirit is contrite! O Lord, wilt

       thou not shut the gates of thy righteousness before me, that I

       may walk in the path of the low valley, that I may be strict in

       the plain road!

      2 Nephi 4:33

       33 O Lord, wilt thou encircle me around in the robe of thy

       righteousness! O Lord, wilt thou make a way for mine escape

       before mine enemies! Wilt thou make my path straight before me!

       Wilt thou not place a stumbling block in my way—but that thou

       wouldst clear my way before me, and hedge not up my way, but the

       ways of mine enemy.

      2 Nephi 4:34

       34 O Lord, I have trusted in thee, and I will trust in thee

       forever. I will not put my trust in the arm of flesh; for I know

       that cursed is he that putteth his trust in the arm of flesh.

       Yea, cursed is he that putteth his trust in man or maketh flesh

       his arm.

      2 Nephi 4:35

       35 Yea, I know that God will give liberally to him that asketh.

       Yea, my God will give me, if I ask not amiss; therefore I will

       lift up my voice unto thee; yea, I will cry unto thee, my God,

       the rock of my righteousness. Behold, my voice shall forever

       ascend up unto thee, my rock and mine everlasting God. Amen.

       to rule over this people.
