Psalms 31

PSALM 31
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician,
A Psalm of David.
1In thee, O Lord, I put my trust,
sham'd let me never be;
According to thy righteousness
do thou deliver me.
2Bow down thine ear to me, with speed
send me deliverance:
To save me, my strong rock be thou,
and my house of defence.
3Because thou art my rock, and thee
I for my fortress take;
Therefore do thou me lead and guide,
ev'n for thine own name's sake.
4And sith thou art my strength, therefore
pull me out of the net,
Which they in subtilty for me
so privily have set.
5Into thine hands I do commit
my sp'rit: for thou art he,
O thou, JEHOVAH, God of truth,
that hast redeemed me.
6Those that do lying vanities
regard, I have abhorr'd:
But as for me, my confidence
is fixed on the Lord.
7I'll in thy mercy gladly joy:
for thou my miseries
Consider'd hast; thou hast my soul
known in adversities:
8And thou hast not inclosed me
within the en'my's hand;
And by thee have my feet been made
in a large room to stand.
9O Lord, upon me mercy have,
for trouble is on me:
Mine eye, my belly, and my soul,
with grief consumed be.
10Because my life with grief is spent,
my years with sighs and groans:
My strength doth fail; and for my sin
consumed are my bones.
11I was a scorn to all my foes,
and to my friends a fear;
And specially reproach'd of those
that were my neighbours near:
When they me saw they from me fled.
12Ev'n so I am forgot,
As men are out of mind when dead:
I'm like a broken pot.
13For slanders I of many heard;
fear compass'd me, while they
Against me did consult, and plot
to take my life away.
14But as for me, O Lord, my trust
upon thee I did lay;
And I to thee, Thou art my God,
did confidently say.
15My times are wholly in thine hand:
do thou deliver me
From their hands that mine enemies
and persecutors be.
16Thy countenance to shine do thou
upon thy servant make:
Unto me give salvation,
for thy great mercies' sake.
17Let me not be asham'd, O Lord,
for on thee call'd I have:
Let wicked men be sham'd, let them
be silent in the grave.
18To silence put the lying lips,
that grievous things do say,
And hard reports, in pride and scorn,
on righteous men do lay.
19How great's the goodness thou for them
that fear thee keep'st in store,
And wrought'st for them that trust in thee
the sons of men before!
20In secret of thy presence thou
shalt hide them from man's pride:
From strife of tongues thou closely shalt,
as in a tent, them hide.
21All praise and thanks be to the Lord;
for he hath magnify'd
His wondrous love to me within
a city fortify'd.
22For from thine eyes cut off I am,
I in my haste had said;
My voice yet heard'st thou, when to thee
with cries my moan I made.
23O love the Lord, all ye his saints;
because the Lord doth guard
The faithful, and he plenteously
proud doers doth reward.
24Be of good courage, and he strength
unto your heart shall send,
All ye whose hope and confidence
doth on the Lord depend.

Psalms 31
31
To the Heavenly Worship Leader, A Psalm (sacred song about or to God) of David [Beloved].
1In youi, O Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in youri righteousness.
2Bow down youri ear to me; deliver me speedily: be youi my strong rock, for an house of defense to save me.
3For youi [are] my rock and my fortress; therefore for youri name’s sake lead me, and guide me.
4Pull me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me: for youi [are] my strength.
5Into youri hand I commit my spirit: youi have redeemed me, O Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] God-El Emet [The Living Word of Truth].
6I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate].
7I will be glad and rejoice in youri mercy: for youi have considered my trouble; youi have known my soul in adversities;
8And have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: youi have set my feet in a large room.
9Have mercy upon me, O Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, [yea], my soul and my belly.
10For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength fails because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
11I was a reproach (disgrace; shame) among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.
12I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
13For 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.
14But I trusted in youi, O Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate]: I said, youi [are] my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].
15My times [are] in youri hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
16Make youri face to shine upon youri servant: save me for youri mercies’ sake.
17Let me not be ashamed, O Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate]; for I have called upon youi: let the wicked be ashamed, [and] let them be silent in the grave.
18Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
19 [Oh] how great [is] youri goodness, which youi have laid up for them that fear youi; [which] youi have wrought for them that trust in youi before the sons of men!
20youi shall hide them in the secret of youri presence from the pride of man: youi shall keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
21Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [be] the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate]: for he has showed me his marvelous kindness in a strong city.
22For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before youri eyes: nevertheless youi heard the voice of my supplications when I cried unto youi.
23O love the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], all you2f his saints: [for] the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] preserves the faithful, and plentifully rewards the proud doer.
24Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all you2f that hope in the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate].
