Psalms 31
1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; save me by Your righteousness.
in finem psalmus David in te Domine speravi non confundar in aeternum in iustitia tua libera me
2 Incline Your ear to me; come quickly to my rescue. Be my rock of refuge, the stronghold of my deliverance.
inclina ad me aurem tuam adcelera ut eruas me esto mihi in Deum protectorem et in domum refugii ut salvum me facias
3 For You are my rock and my fortress; lead me and guide me for the sake of Your name.
quoniam fortitudo mea et refugium meum es tu et propter nomen tuum deduces me et enutries me
4 You free me from the net laid out for me, for You are my refuge.
educes me de laqueo hoc quem absconderunt mihi quoniam tu es protector meus
5 Into Your hands I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O LORD, God of truth.
in manus tuas commendabo spiritum meum redemisti me Domine Deus veritatis
6 I hate those who cling to worthless idols, but in the LORD I trust.
odisti observantes vanitates supervacue ego autem in Domino speravi
7 I will be glad and rejoice in Your loving devotion, for You have seen my affliction; You have known the anguish of my soul.
exultabo et laetabor in misericordia tua quoniam respexisti humilitatem meam salvasti de necessitatibus animam meam
8 You have not delivered me to the enemy; You have set my feet in the open.
nec conclusisti me in manibus inimici statuisti in loco spatioso pedes meos
9 Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes fail from sorrow, my soul and body as well.
miserere mei Domine quoniam tribulor conturbatus est in ira oculus meus anima mea et venter meus
10 For my life is consumed with grief and my years with groaning; my iniquity has drained my strength, and my bones are wasting away.
quoniam defecit in dolore vita mea et anni mei in gemitibus infirmata est in paupertate virtus mea et ossa mea conturbata sunt
11 Among all my enemies I am a disgrace, and among my neighbors even more. I am dreaded by my friends— they flee when they see me on the street.
super omnes inimicos meos factus sum obprobrium et vicinis meis valde et timor notis meis qui videbant me foras fugerunt a me
12 I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind. I am like a broken vessel.
oblivioni datus sum tamquam mortuus a corde factus sum tamquam vas perditum
13 For I hear the slander of many; there is terror on every side. They conspire against me and plot to take my life.
quoniam audivi vituperationem multorum commorantium in circuitu in eo dum convenirent simul adversus me accipere animam meam consiliati sunt
14 But I trust in You, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.”
ego autem in te speravi Domine dixi Deus meus es tu
15 My times are in Your hands; deliver me from my enemies and from those who pursue me.
in manibus tuis sortes meae eripe me de manu inimicorum meorum et a persequentibus me
16 Make Your face shine on Your servant; save me by Your loving devotion.
inlustra faciem tuam super servum tuum salvum me fac in misericordia tua
17 O LORD, let me not be ashamed, for I have called on You. Let the wicked be put to shame; let them lie silent in Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Domine ne confundar quoniam invocavi te erubescant impii et deducantur in infernum (Sheol h7585)
18 May lying lips be silenced— lips that speak with arrogance against the righteous, full of pride and contempt.
muta fiant labia dolosa quae loquuntur adversus iustum iniquitatem in superbia et in abusione
19 How great is Your goodness which You have laid up for those who fear You, which You have bestowed before the sons of men on those who take refuge in You!
quam magna multitudo dulcedinis tuae Domine quam abscondisti timentibus te perfecisti eis qui sperant in te in conspectu filiorum hominum
20 You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the schemes of men. You conceal them in Your shelter from accusing tongues.
abscondes eos in abdito faciei tuae a conturbatione hominum proteges eos in tabernaculo a contradictione linguarum
21 Blessed be the LORD, for He has shown me His loving devotion in a city under siege.
benedictus Dominus quoniam mirificavit misericordiam suam mihi in civitate munita
22 In my alarm I said, “I am cut off from Your sight!” But You heard my plea for mercy when I called to You for help.
ego autem dixi in excessu mentis meae proiectus sum a facie oculorum tuorum ideo exaudisti vocem orationis meae dum clamarem ad te
23 Love the LORD, all His saints. The LORD preserves the faithful, but fully repays the arrogant.
diligite Dominum omnes sancti eius quoniam veritates requirit Dominus et retribuit abundanter facientibus superbiam
24 Be strong and courageous, all you who hope in the LORD.
viriliter agite et confortetur cor vestrum omnes qui speratis in Domino
