Contextual Overview
1 O Lord , I have come to you for protection; don't let me be disgraced. 2 Save me and rescue me, for you do what is right. Turn your ear to listen to me, and set me free. 3 Be my rock of safety where I can always hide. Give the order to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress. 4 My God, rescue me from the power of the wicked, from the clutches of cruel oppressors. 5 O Lord, you alone are my hope. I've trusted you, O Lord , from childhood. 6 Yes, you have been with me from birth; from my mother's womb you have cared for me. No wonder I am always praising you! 7 My life is an example to many, because you have been my strength and protection. 8 That is why I can never stop praising you; I declare your glory all day long. 9 And now, in my old age, don't set me aside. Don't abandon me when my strength is failing. 10 For my enemies are whispering against me. They are plotting together to kill me.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Deliver me in thy righteousness,.... By it, or "for the sake of [it]" q; :-;
and cause me to escape; present danger, and out of the hands of enemies, as well as wrath to come, and eternal death; which nothing but the righteousness of God can deliver from, or cause to escape;
incline thine ear unto me; or "bow it"; :-;
and save me; out of all troubles and afflictions, and from wicked and unreasonable men.
q בצדקתך "propter justitiam tuam", Pagninus, Piscator; so Schmidt.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Deliver me in thy righteousness - See the notes at Psalms 31:1. The first three verses of this psalm seem in fact to have been taken, with slight variations, from the first three verses of Psalms 31:0.
And cause me to escape - That is, from impending dangers; from the power of my enemies.
Incline thine ear unto me - In Psalms 31:2, this is, “Bow down thine ear to me.” The idea is the same. See the notes at that place. Compare the notes at Psalms 17:6.
And save me - In Psalms 31:2, this is, “Deliver me speedily.”
