Psalms - ch 31 v 1 - 20
- 1 In thee, Jehovah, do I trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
- Incline thine ear to me, deliver me speedily; be a strong rock to me, a house of defence to save me.
- For thou art my rock and my fortress; and, for thy name's sake, thou wilt lead me and guide me.
- Draw me out of the net that they have hidden for me; for thou art my strength.
- Into thy hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah, thou ùGod of truth.
- I have hated them that observe lying vanities; and as for me, I have confided in Jehovah.
- I will be glad and rejoice in thy loving-kindness, for thou hast seen mine affliction; thou hast known the troubles of my soul,
- And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large place.
- Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am in trouble: mine eye wasteth away with vexation, my soul and my belly.
- For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength faileth through mine iniquity, and my bones are wasted.
- More than to all mine oppressors, I am become exceedingly a reproach, even to my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that see me without flee from me.
- I am forgotten in their heart as a dead man; I am become like a broken vessel.
- For I have heard the slander of many -- terror on every side -- when they take counsel together against me: they plot to take away my life.
- But I confided in thee, Jehovah; I said, thou art my God.
- My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from my persecutors.
- Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy loving-kindness.
- Jehovah, let me not be ashamed; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, let them be silent in Sheol.
- Let the lying lips become dumb, which speak insolently against the righteous in pride and contempt.
- Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee, before the sons of men!
- Thou keepest them concealed in the secret of thy presence from the conspiracies of man; thou hidest them in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
- To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
