Psalms, psalm 31
Compare with Revised Standard Version: Psal.031
1: In thee, O JAH, do I put my trust; let me never
be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
2: Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong
rock, for an house of defence to save me.
3: For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake
lead me, and guide me.
4: Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou
art my strength.
5: Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O JAH
God of truth.
6: I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the
LORD.
7: I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered
my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;
8: And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set
my feet in a large room.
9: Have mercy upon me, O JAH, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed
with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
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.
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.
12: I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
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.
14: But I trusted in thee, O JAH: I said, Thou art my God.
15: My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies,
and from them that persecute me.
16: Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies'
sake.
17: Let me not be ashamed, O JAH; for I have called upon thee: let
the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.
18: Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things
proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
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!
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.
21: Blessed be JAH: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness
in a strong city.
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.
23: O love JAH, all ye his saints: for JAH preserveth the
faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
24: Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye
that hope in JAH.
