Psalms 31
- 1In you, O Lord, do I put my trust. Let me never be ashamed: deliver me in your righteousness.
- 2Bow down your ear to me, deliver me quickly: be my strong rock, for a house of defense to save me.
- 3For you are my rock and my fortress, therefore for your name's sake lead me, and guide me.
- 4Pull me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me. For you are my strength.
- 5Into your hand I commit my spirit: you have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
- 6I have hated those who regard useless idols: but I trust in the Lord.
- 7I will be glad and rejoice in your mercy. For you have considered my trouble. You have known my soul in adversities.
- 8And you have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: you have set my feet in an open place.
- 9Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in trouble: my eye is consumed with grief, yes, my soul and my belly.
- 10For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength fails because of my wrongdoing, and my bones are consumed.
- 11I was a disgrace among all my enemies, but especially among my neighbors, and a fear to my acquaintance: those who saw me outside fled from me.
- 12I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken pot.
- 13For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they planned to take away my life.
- 14But I trusted in you, O Lord: I said, You are my God.
- 15My times are in your hand: deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.
- 16Make your face to shine on your servant: save me for your mercies' sake.
- 17Let me not be ashamed, O Lord. For I have called on you: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.
- 18Let the lying lips be put to silence, which speak insolent things proudly and with contempt against the righteous.
- 19Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you. Which you have worked for those who trust in you before the sons of men!
- 20You shall hide them in the secret of your presence from the pride of man: you shall keep them secretly in a pavilion from the conflict of tongues.
- 21Blessed be the Lord. For he has showed me his marvelous kindness in a strong city.
- 22For I said in my panic, I am cut off from before your eyes: but you heard the voice of my prayers for mercy when I cried to you.
- 23O love the Lord, all you his saints. For the Lord preserves the faithful, and plentifully rewards the proud doer.
- 24Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all you that hope in the Lord.
