psa 31:1

  In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.

psa 31:2

  Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.

psa 31:3

  For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.

psa 31:4

  Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.

psa 31:5

  Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.

psa 31:6

  I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.

psa 31:7

  I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;

psa 31:8

  And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.

psa 31:9

  Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.

psa 31:10

  For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.

psa 31:11

  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.

psa 31:12

  I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.

psa 31:13

  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.

psa 31:14

  But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.

psa 31:15

  My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

psa 31:16

  Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.

psa 31:17

  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.

psa 31:18

  Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

psa 31:19

  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!

psa 31:20

  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.

psa 31:21

  Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.

psa 31:22

  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.

psa 31:23

  O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.

psa 31:24

  Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.
