PSA-31:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. 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 showed 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.
