²⁰ Jehovah is `ready' to save me: Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments All the days of our life in the house of Jehovah.

¹³ Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; Behold my affliction `which I suffer' of them that hate me, Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;

¹⁴ That I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.

⁴ Praise him with timbrel and dance: Praise him with stringed instruments and pipe.

² Every day will I bless thee; And I will praise thy name for ever and ever.

¹⁷ I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of Jehovah.

¹⁸ I will pay my vows unto Jehovah, Yea, in the presence of all his people,

¹⁹ In the courts of Jehovah's house, In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye Jehovah.

² Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, Therefore will I call `upon him' as long as I live.

²⁵ The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, In the midst of the damsels playing with timbrels.

¹³ I will come into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will pay thee my vows,

¹⁴ Which my lips uttered, And my mouth spake, when I was in distress.

¹⁵ I will offer unto thee burnt-offerings of fatlings, With the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah

¹⁵ O Lord, open thou my lips; And my mouth shall show forth thy praise.

² Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp: Sing praises unto him with the psaltery of ten strings.

¹¹ Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

¹² To the end that `my' glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Jehovah my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever. Psalm 31 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

⁵ For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion: In the covert of his tabernacle will he hide me; He will lift me up upon a rock.

⁶ And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me. And I will offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto Jehovah.

¹⁹ Jehovah, the Lord, is my strength; And he maketh my feet like hinds' `feet', And will make me to walk upon my high places.
