Psalms 31
1 To the choirmaster a psalm of David. In you O Yahweh I have taken refuge may not I be ashamed for ever in righteousness your deliver me.
Unto the end, a psalm for David, in an ecstasy. In thee, O Lord, have I hoped, let me never be confounded: deliver me in thy justice.
2 Incline to me - ear your quickly deliver me become of me - a rock of refuge a house of strongholds to save me.
Bow down thy ear to me: make haste to deliver me. Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a house of refuge, to save me.
3 For [are] rock my and stronghold my you and for [the] sake of name your you guide me and you lead me.
For thou art my strength and my refuge; and for thy name’s sake thou wilt lead me, and nourish me.
4 You will bring out me from [the] net which people have hidden for me for you [are] place of refuge my.
Thou wilt bring me out of this snare, which they have hidden for me: for thou art my protector.
5 In hand your I entrust spirit my you have redeemed me O Yahweh God of faithfulness.
Into thy hands I commend my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth.
6 I hate those [who] keep vanities of falsehood and I to Yahweh I trust.
Thou hast hated them that regard vanities, to no purpose. But I have hoped in the Lord:
7 I will rejoice and I will be glad in covenant loyalty your that you saw affliction my you knew [the] troubles of self my.
I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy. For thou best regarded my humility, thou hast saved my soul out of distresses.
8 And not you delivered up me in [the] hand of an enemy you made stand in roomy place feet my.
And thou hast not shut me up in the hands of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a spacious place.
9 Show favor to me O Yahweh for it is distress to me it has wasted away with grief eye my being my and belly my.
Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with wrath, my soul, and my belly:
10 For they have wasted away in sorrow life my and years my with groaning it has failed by iniquity my strength my and bones my they have wasted away.
For my life is wasted with grief: and my years in sighs. My strength is weakened through poverty and my bones are disturbed.
11 From all opposers my I have become a reproach and to neighbors my - exceedingly and a dread to acquaintances my [those who] see me in the street they flee from me.
I am become a reproach among all my enemies, and very much to my neighbours; and a fear to my acquaintance. They that saw me without fled from me.
12 I have been forgotten like a dead [person] from [the] heart I have become like a vessel [which] is destroyed.
I am forgotten as one dead from the heart. I am become as a vessel that is destroyed.
13 For I have heard - [the] slander of many [people] terror [is] from around about when they seated themselves together on me to take life my they plotted.
For I have heard the blame of many that dwell round about. While they assembled together against me, they consulted to take away my life.
14 And I - on you I rely O Yahweh I say [are] God my you.
But I have put my trust in thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my God.
15 [are] in Hand your times my deliver me from [the] hand of enemies my and from pursuers my.
My lots are in thy hands. Deliver me out of the hands of my enemies; and from them that persecute me.
16 Make shine! face your on servant your save me in covenant loyalty your.
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy mercy.
17 O Yahweh may not I be ashamed for I have called out to you may they be ashamed wicked [people] may they be silent to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Let me not be confounded, O Lord, for I have called upon thee. Let the wicked be ashamed, and be brought down to hell. (Sheol h7585)
18 May they be dumb lips of falsehood which speak on [the] righteous arrogance with pride and contempt.
Let deceitful lips be made dumb. Which speak iniquity against the just, with pride and abuse.
19 How! great [is] goodness your which you have stored up for [those] fearing you [which] you have done for [those who] take refuge in you before [the] children of humankind.
O how great is the multitude of thy sweetness, O Lord, which thou hast hidden for them that fear thee! Which thou hast wrought for them that hope in thee, in the sight of the sons of men.
20 You hide them - in [the] hiding place of presence your from [the] conspiracies of man you hide them in a shelter from strife of tongues.
Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy face, from the disturbance of men. Thou shalt protect them in thy tabernacle from the contradiction of tongues.
21 [be] blessed Yahweh for he has made wonderful covenant loyalty his to me in a city of siege.
Blessed be the Lord, for he hath shewn his wonderful mercy to me in a fortified city.
22 And I - I said when was hastening I I have been cut off from before eyes your nevertheless you heard [the] sound of supplications my when cried for help I to you.
But I said in the excess of my mind: I am cast away from before thy eyes. Therefore thou hast heard the voice of my prayer, when I cried to thee.
23 Love Yahweh O all faithful [people] his faithful [people] [is] preserving Yahweh and [is] repaying on excess [one who] does pride.
O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord will require truth, and will repay them abundantly that act proudly.
24 Be strong so may it show strength heart your O all those [who] wait for Yahweh.
Do ye manfully, and let your heart be strengthened, all ye that hope in the Lord.
