Psalms 31

1 Ref In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.

2 Ref Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.

3 Ref For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.

4 Ref Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.

5 Ref Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.

6 Ref I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.

7 Ref I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;

8 Ref And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.

9 Ref Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.

10 Ref For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.

11 Ref 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.

12 Ref I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.

13 Ref 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.

14 Ref But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.

15 Ref My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

16 Ref Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.

17 Ref Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.

18 Ref Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

19 Ref 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!

20 Ref Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

21 Ref Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.

22 Ref For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.

23 Ref O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.

24 Ref Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.
