Psalms - Chapter 31 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 1. In thee, O LORD, 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 {cf15I 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 {cf15I art} my strength.
  • 5. Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD 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 LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, {cf15I 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 {cf15I 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 LORD: I said, Thou {cf15I art} my God.
  • 15. My times {cf15I 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 LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, {cf15I 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. {cf15I Oh} how great {cf15I is} thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; {cf15I 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 {cf15I be} the LORD: 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 the LORD, all ye his saints: {cf15I for} the LORD 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 the LORD.
