Psalms 31

1[To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.] In you, O Yahuah, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in your righteousness. 2Bow down your ear to me; deliver me speedily: be you my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me. 3For you my rock and my fortress; therefore for your name's sake lead me, and guide me. 4Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for you my strength. 5Into your hand I commit my spirit: you hast redeemed me, O Yahuah Elohim of truth. 6I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the Yahuah. 7I will be glad and rejoice in your mercy: for you hast considered my trouble; you hast known my soul in adversities; 8And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: you hast set my feet in a large room. 9Have mercy upon me, O Yahuah, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, , my soul and my belly. 10For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed. 11I 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. 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 on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life. 14But I trusted in you, O Yahuah: I said, you my Elohim. 15My times in your hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me. 16Make your face to shine upon your servant: save me for your mercies' sake. 17Let me not be ashamed, O Yahuah; for I have called upon you: let the wicked be ashamed, 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. 19how great your goodness, which you hast laid up for them that fear you; you hast wrought for them that trust in you before the sons of men! 20you shall hide them in the secret of your presence from the pride of man: you shall keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. 21Blessed the Yahuah: for he has shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city. 22For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before your eyes: nevertheless you heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto you. 23O love the Yahuah, all ye his saints: the Yahuah preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer. 24Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Yahuah.
