Psalms Chapter 31 (ESV)
undefined
In you, O LORD, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me!
undefined
Incline your ear to me; rescue me speedily! Be a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me!
undefined
For you are my rock and my fortress; and for your name's sake you lead me and guide me;
undefined
you take me out of the net they have hidden for me, for you are my refuge.
undefined
Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O LORD, faithful God.
undefined
I hate those who pay regard to worthless idols, but I trust in the LORD.
undefined
I will rejoice and be glad in your steadfast love, because you have seen my affliction; you have known the distress of my soul,
undefined
and you have not delivered me into the hand of the enemy; you have set my feet in a broad place.
undefined
Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; my eye is wasted from grief; my soul and my body also.
undefined
For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones waste away.
undefined
Because of all my adversaries I have become a reproach, especially to my neighbors, and an object of dread to my acquaintances; those who see me in the street flee from me.
undefined
I have been forgotten like one who is dead; I have become like a broken vessel.
undefined
For I hear the whispering of many — terror on every side! — as they scheme together against me, as they plot to take my life.
undefined
But I trust in you, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.”
undefined
My times are in your hand; rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my persecutors!
undefined
Make your face shine on your servant; save me in your steadfast love!
undefined
O LORD, let me not be put to shame, for I call upon you; let the wicked be put to shame; let them go silently to Sheol.
undefined
Let the lying lips be mute, which speak insolently against the righteous in pride and contempt.
undefined
Oh, how abundant is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you and worked for those who take refuge in you, in the sight of the children of mankind!
undefined
In the cover of your presence you hide them from the plots of men; you store them in your shelter from the strife of tongues.
undefined
Blessed be the LORD, for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me when I was in a besieged city.
undefined
I had said in my alarm, “I am cut off from your sight.” But you heard the voice of my pleas for mercy when I cried to you for help.
undefined
Love the LORD, all you his saints! The LORD preserves the faithful but abundantly repays the one who acts in pride.
undefined
Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the LORD!
