Bible, King James Version
Psalms
Pss.31
[1] In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be
ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
[2] Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou
my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.
[3] For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for
thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.
[4] Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for
me: for thou art my strength.
[5] Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed
me, O LORD God of truth.
[6] I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I
trust in the LORD.
[7] I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast
considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in
adversities;
[8] And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy:
thou hast set my feet in a large room.
[9] Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine
eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
[10] 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] 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] I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a
broken vessel.
[13] 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] But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my
God.
[15] My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of
mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
[16] Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for
thy mercies' sake.
[17] 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] Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak
grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the
righteous.
[19] 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] 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] Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his
marvellous kindness in a strong city.
[22] 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] O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD
preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud
doer.
[24] Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your
heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.
