Psalm 31 is a plea for an end to evil, and an admiration of how good and powerful God really is:[1]

Let the lying lips be mute,

which speak insolently against the righteous
in pride and contempt.
Oh, how abundant is your goodness,
which you have stored up for those who fear you
and worked for those who take refuge in you,
in the sight of the children of mankind!

David Wilkerson called Psalm 31 "A song of drug-addicts" and used it in his ministry to them.[2]
