PSALMS ยท Chapter 31
31:1 In you, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver
me in your righteousness.
31:2 Bow down your ear to me; deliver me speedily: be you my strong
rock, for an house of defence to save me.
31:3 For you are my rock and my fortress; therefore for your name's
sake lead me, and guide me.
31:4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privately for me: for
you are my strength.
31:5 Into your hand I commit my spirit: you have redeemed me, O LORD
God of truth.
31:6 I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the
LORD.
31:7 I will be glad and rejoice in your mercy: for you have considered
my trouble; you have known my soul in adversities;
31:8 And have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: you have set
my feet in a large room.
31:9 Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed
with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
31:10 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my
strength fails because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
31:11 I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among
my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without
fled from me.
31:12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken
vessel.
31:13 For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side:
while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away
my life.
31:14 But I trusted in you, O LORD: I said, You are my God.
31:15 My times are in your hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies,
and from them that persecute me.
31:16 Make your face to shine upon your servant: save me for your mercies'
sake.
31:17 Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon you: let
the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.
31:18 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things
proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
31:19 Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for them
that fear you; which you have wrought for them that trust in you before
the sons of men!
31:20 You shall hide them in the secret of your presence from the pride
of man: you shall keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
31:21 Blessed be the LORD: for he has showed me his marvellous kindness
in a strong city.
31:22 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before your eyes: nevertheless
you heard the voice of my supplications when I cried unto you.
31:23 O love the LORD, all you his saints: for the LORD perserves the
faithful, and plentifully rewards the proud doer.
31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all you
that hope in the LORD.
