chapter_Psalm_31
Psalm 31:1: To the Overseer. &#8212; A Psalm of David. In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age, In Thy righteousness deliver me. Psalm 31:2: Incline unto me Thine ear hastily, deliver me, Be to me for a strong rock, For a house of bulwarks to save me. Psalm 31:3: For my rock and my bulwark art Thou, For Thy name's sake lead me and tend me. Psalm 31:4: Bring me out from the net that they hid for me, For Thou art my strength. Psalm 31:5: Into Thy hand I commit my spirit, Thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah God of truth. Psalm 31:6: I have hated the observers of lying vanities, And I toward Jehovah have been confident. Psalm 31:7: I rejoice, and am glad in Thy kindness, In that Thou hast seen mine affliction, Thou hast known in adversities my soul. Psalm 31:8: And Thou hast not shut me up, Into the hand of an enemy, Thou hast caused my feet to stand in a broad place. Psalm 31:9: Favour me, O Jehovah, for distress is to me, Mine eye, my soul, and my body Have become old by provocation. Psalm 31:10: For my life hath been consumed in sorrow And my years in sighing. Feeble because of mine iniquity hath been my strength, And my bones have become old. Psalm 31:11: Among all mine adversaries I have been a reproach, And to my neighbours exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintances, Those seeing me without &#8212; fled from me. Psalm 31:12: I have been forgotten as dead out of mind, I have been as a perishing vessel. Psalm 31:13: For I have heard an evil account of many, Fear is round about. In their being united against me, To take my life they have devised, Psalm 31:14: And I on Thee &#8212; I have trusted, O Jehovah, I have said, 'Thou art my God.' Psalm 31:15: In Thy hand are my times, Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from my pursuers. Psalm 31:16: Cause Thy face to shine on Thy servant, Save me in Thy kindness. Psalm 31:17: O Jehovah, let me not be ashamed, For I have called Thee, let the wicked be ashamed, Let them become silent to Sheol. Psalm 31:18: Let lips of falsehood become dumb, That are speaking against the righteous, Ancient sayings, in pride and contempt. Psalm 31:19: How abundant is Thy goodness, That Thou hast laid up for those fearing Thee, Psalm 31:20: Thou hast wrought for those trusting in Thee, Before sons of men. Thou hidest them in the secret place of Thy presence, From artifices of man, Thou concealest them in a tabernacle, From the strife of tongues. Psalm 31:21: Blessed is Jehovah, For He hath made marvellous His kindness To me in a city of bulwarks. Psalm 31:22: And I &#8212; I have said in my haste, 'I have been cut off from before Thine eyes,' But Thou hast heard the voice of my supplications, In my crying unto Thee. Psalm 31:23: Love Jehovah, all ye His saints, Jehovah is keeping the faithful, And recompensing abundantly a proud doer. Psalm 31:24: Be strong, and He strengtheneth your heart, All ye who are waiting for Jehovah!
