Psalms 31:1-18

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.
