Psm31:1 In you, O LORD, I seek refuge; do not let me ever be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me.
Psm31:2 Incline your ear to me; rescue me speedily. Be a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me.
Psm31:3 You are indeed my rock and my fortress; for your name's sake lead me and guide me,
Psm31:4 take me out of the net that is hidden for me, for you are my refuge.
Psm31:5 Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O LORD, faithful God.
Psm31:6 You hate those who pay regard to worthless idols, but I trust in the LORD.
Psm31:7 I will exult and rejoice in your steadfast love, because you have seen my affliction; you have taken heed of my adversities,
Psm31:8 and have not delivered me into the hand of the enemy; you have set my feet in a broad place.
Psm31:9 Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; my eye wastes away from grief, my soul and body also.
Psm31:10 For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my misery, and my bones waste away.
Psm31:11 I am the scorn of all my adversaries, a horror to my neighbors, an object of dread to my acquaintances; those who see me in the street flee from me.
Psm31:12 I have passed out of mind like one who is dead; I have become like a broken vessel.
Psm31:13 For I hear the whispering of many-- terror all around!-- as they scheme together against me, as they plot to take my life.
Psm31:14 But I trust in you, O LORD; I say, "You are my God."
Psm31:15 My times are in your hand; deliver me from the hand of my enemies and persecutors.
Psm31:16 Let your face shine upon your servant; save me in your steadfast love.
Psm31:17 Do not let me be put to shame, O LORD, for I call on you; let the wicked be put to shame; let them go dumbfounded to Sheol.
Psm31:18 Let the lying lips be stilled that speak insolently against the righteous with pride and contempt.
Psm31:19 O how abundant is your goodness that you have laid up for those who fear you, and accomplished for those who take refuge in you, in the sight of everyone!
Psm31:20 In the shelter of your presence you hide them from human plots; you hold them safe under your shelter from contentious tongues.
Psm31:21 Blessed be the LORD, for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me when I was beset as a city under siege.
Psm31:22 I had said in my alarm, "I am driven far from your sight." But you heard my supplications when I cried out to you for help.
Psm31:23 Love the LORD, all you his saints. The LORD preserves the faithful, but abundantly repays the one who acts haughtily.
Psm31:24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the LORD.
Psm31:25
