Ukrainians turn to Psalm 31 in bomb shelters 

The Bible Society has released a moving video of people across Ukraine reading Psalm 31 in bunkers and shelters, while the Russian invasion goes on.

Psalm 31 has become ‘the key scripture for all Ukrainians’ according to Bible Society colleagues who have worked in Ukraine for the last 30 years, translating and distributing Bibles.
 
Its Director of International, Oldi Morava has been speaking to Premier about the current situation: “Our dear colleagues are still working in Kyiv, where they have their headquarters. They are working very closely with a number of local churches and Christian organisations to distribute food and medicine, but also to distribute the Bible and especially Children's Bibles, as they go from one shelter to another. 

“They have noticed that during this particularly difficult time, many people want to find strength and rest, but also comfort in their faith and in God's word. They're finding it particularly inspiring. They're reading the Book of Psalms for their own particular context. One of the Psalms that is becoming almost a Psalm for the whole of Ukraine is Psalm 31. 

“I would encourage everyone to read that, but read it from the perspective of young people, children and elderly people reading it in shelters, reading it in fear and the anxiety that they're experiencing, and see what those words actually mean to them.”
