Psalms:31

* In thee , O LORD , do I take refuge . Let me never be put to shame . Deliver me in thy righteousness . * Bow down thine ear to me . Deliver me speedily . Be thou to me a strong rock , a house of defense to save me . * For thou are my rock and my fortress . Therefore for thy name 's sake lead me and guide me . * Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me , for thou are my stronghold . * Into thy hand I commend my spirit . Thou have redeemed me , O LORD , thou God of truth . * I hate those who regard lying vanities , but I trust in LORD . * I will be glad and rejoice in thy loving kindness , for thou have seen my affliction . Thou have known my soul in adversities , * and thou have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy . Thou have set my feet in a large place . * Have mercy upon me , O LORD , for I am in distress . My eye wastes away with grief , [yea ], my soul and my body . * For my life is spent with sorrow , and my years with sighing . My strength fails because of my iniquity , and my bones are wasted away . * I have become a reproach because of all my adversaries , yea , to my neighbors exceedingly , and a fear to my acquaintances . Those who saw me outside fled from me . * I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind . I am like a broken vessel . * 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 . * But I trusted in thee , O LORD . I said , Thou are my God . * My times are in thy hand . Deliver me from the hand of my enemies , and from those who persecute me . * Make thy face to shine upon thy servant . Save me in thy loving kindness . * Let me not be put to shame , O LORD , for I have called upon thee . Let the wicked be put to shame . Let them be silent in Sheol . * Let the lying lips be dumb , which speak against the righteous man insolently , with pride and contempt . * O how great is thy goodness , which thou have laid up for those who fear thee , which thou have wrought for those who take refuge in thee before the sons of men ! * In the covert of thy presence thou will hide them from the plotting of man . Thou will keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues . * Blessed be LORD , for he has shown me his marvelous loving kindness in a strong city . * As for me , I said in my haste , I am cut off from before thine eyes . Nevertheless thou heard the voice of my supplications when I cried to thee . * O love LORD , all ye his sanctified . LORD preserves the faithful , and plentifully repays him who deals proudly . * Be strong , and let your heart take courage , all ye who hope in LORD .
