Psalms 31

(Luke 23:44–49)

1In You, O LORDH3068, I have taken refugeH2620;let me neverH408 H5769 be put to shameH954;save meH6403 by Your righteousnessH6666.2InclineH5186 Your earH241 to meH413;come quicklyH4120 to my rescueH5337.BeH1961 my rockH6697 of refugeH4581,the strongholdH1004 H4686 of my deliveranceH3467.

3ForH3588 YouH859 are my rockH5553 and my fortressH4686;lead meH5148 and guide meH5095 for the sake ofH4616 Your nameH8034.4You free meH3318 from the netH7568 laid outH2934 for me,forH3588 YouH859 are my refugeH4581.5Into Your handsH3027 I commitH6485 my spiritH7307;1You have redeemed meH6299 , O LORDH3068, GodH410 of truthH571.

6I hateH8130 2 those who clingH8104 to worthless idolsH1892 H7723,but inH413 the LORDH3068 IH589 trustH982.7I will be gladH1523 and rejoiceH8055 in Your loving devotionH2617,forH834 You have seenH7200 my afflictionH6040;You have knownH3045 the anguishH6869 of my soulH5315.8You have notH3808 delivered meH5462 toH3027 the enemyH341;You have setH5975 my feetH7272 in the openH4800.

9Be merciful to meH2603, O LORDH3068,forH3588 I am in distressH6887;my eyesH5869 failH6244 from sorrowH3708,my soulH5315 and body as wellH990.10ForH3588 my lifeH2416 is consumedH3615 with griefH3015and my yearsH8141 with groaningH585;my iniquityH5771 has drainedH3782 my strengthH3581,and my bonesH6106 are wasting awayH6244.11Among allH3605 my enemiesH6887 I amH1961 a disgraceH2781,and among my neighborsH7934 even moreH3966.I am dreadedH6343 by my friendsH3045—they fleeH5074 when they seeH7200 meH4480 on the streetH2351.12I am forgottenH7911 like a dead manH4191, out of mindH3820.I amH1961 like a brokenH6 vesselH3627.13ForH3588 I hearH8085 the slanderH1681 of manyH7227;there is terrorH4032 on every sideH5439.They conspireH3245 H3162 against meH5921and plotH2161 to takeH3947 my lifeH5315.

14But IH589 trustH982 in YouH5921, O LORDH3068;I sayH559, “YouH859 are my GodH430.”15My timesH6256 are in Your handsH3027;deliver meH5337 fromH3027 my enemiesH341and from those who pursue meH7291.16Make Your faceH6440 shineH215 onH5921 Your servantH5650;save meH3467 by Your loving devotionH2617.

17O LORDH3068, let me notH408 be ashamedH954,forH3588 I have called on YouH7121.Let the wickedH7563 be put to shameH954;let them lie silentH1826 in SheolH7585.18May lyingH8267 lipsH8193 be silencedH481—lips that speakH1696 with arroganceH6277 againstH5921 the righteousH6662,full of prideH1346 and contemptH937.

19HowH4100 greatH7227 is Your goodnessH2898whichH834 You have laid upH6845 for those who fear YouH3373,which You have bestowedH6466 beforeH5048 the sonsH1121 of menH120on those who take refugeH2620 in You!20You hide themH5641 in the secret placeH5643 of Your presenceH6440from the schemesH7407 of menH376.You conceal themH6845 in Your shelterH5521from accusingH7379 tonguesH3956.

21BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068,forH3588 He has shownH6381 me His loving devotionH2617in a cityH5892 under siegeH4692.22In my alarmH2648 IH589 saidH559,“I am cut offH1629 fromH5048 Your sightH5869!”ButH403 You heardH8085 my pleaH6963 for mercyH8469when I called to YouH413 for helpH7768.

23LoveH157 the LORDH3068, allH3605 His saintsH2623.The LORDH3068 preservesH5341 the faithfulH529,but fullyH5921 H3499 repaysH7999 the arrogantH6213 H1346.24Be strongH2388 and courageousH553 H3824,allH3605 you who hopeH3176 in the LORDH3068.
