Psalms 31:1-18

1In thee, O LORDH3068, do I put my trustH2620; let me neverH408H5769 be ashamedH954: deliverH6403 me in thy righteousnessH6666. 2Bow downH5186 thy earH241 to me; deliverH5337 me speedilyH4120: be thou my strongH4581 rockH6697, for an houseH1004 of defenceH4686 to saveH3467 me.1 3For thou art my rockH5553 and my fortressH4686; therefore for thy name’sH8034 sake leadH5148 me, and guideH5095 me. 4Pull me outH3318 of the netH7568 thatH2098 they have laid secretlyH2934 for me: for thou art my strengthH4581. 5Into thy handH3027 I commitH6485 my spiritH7307: thou hast redeemedH6299 me, O LORDH3068 GodH410 of truthH571. 6I have hatedH8130 them that regardH8104 lyingH7723 vanitiesH1892: but I trustH982 in the LORDH3068. 7I will be gladH1523 and rejoiceH8055 in thy mercyH2617: for thou hast consideredH7200 my troubleH6040; thou hast knownH3045 my soulH5315 in adversitiesH6869; 8And hast not shut me upH5462 into the handH3027 of the enemyH341: thou hast setH5975 my feetH7272 in a large placeH4800.

9Have mercyH2603 upon me, O LORDH3068, for I am in troubleH6887: my eyeH5869 is consumedH6244 with griefH3708, yea, my soulH5315 and my bodyH990. 10For my lifeH2416 is spentH3615 with griefH3015, and my yearsH8141 with sighingH585: my strengthH3581 failethH3782 because of my iniquityH5771, and my bonesH6106 are consumedH6244. 11I was a reproachH2781 among all my enemiesH6887, but especiallyH3966 among my neighboursH7934, and a fearH6343 to my acquaintanceH3045: they that sawH7200 me withoutH2351 fledH5074 from me. 12I am forgottenH7911 as a dead manH4191 out of mindH3820: I am like a brokenH6 vesselH3627.2 13For I have heardH8085 the slanderH1681 of manyH7227: fearH4032 was on every sideH5439: while they took counselH3245 togetherH3162 against me, they devisedH2161 to take awayH3947 my lifeH5315. 14But I trustedH982 in thee, O LORDH3068: I saidH559, Thou art my GodH430. 15My timesH6256 are in thy handH3027: deliverH5337 me from the handH3027 of my enemiesH341, and from them that persecuteH7291 me. 16Make thy faceH6440 to shineH215 upon thy servantH5650: saveH3467 me for thy merciesH2617’ sake. 17Let me not be ashamedH954, O LORDH3068; for I have calledH7121 upon thee: let the wickedH7563 be ashamedH954, and let them be silentH1826 in the graveH7585.3 18Let the lyingH8267 lipsH8193 be put to silenceH481; which speakH1696 grievousH6277 things proudlyH1346 and contemptuouslyH937 against the righteousH6662.4
