  31:1 ¶
[[For the end, a Psalm of David, [an utterance] of extreme fear.]] O Lord, I have hoped in thee; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness and rescue me. |
|
31:1 ¶
[[To the chief Musician,ºº
A Psalmº
of David.]]º
In thee, O Yahweh,º
do I put my trust;ºº
let me neverºº
be ashamed:ºº
deliverºº
me in thy righteousness.º |
|
31:2
Incline thine ear to me; make haste to rescue me: be thou to me for a protecting God, and for a house of refuge to save me. |
31:2
Bow downºº
thine earº
toº
me; deliverºº
me speedily:º
beº
thou my strongº
rock,º
for an houseº
of defenceº
to saveºº
me. |
|
31:3
For thou art my strength and my refuge; and thou shalt guide me for thy name's sake, and maintain me. |
31:3
Forº
thouº
[art] my rockº
and my fortress;º
therefore for thy name'sº
sakeºº
leadºº
me, and guideºº
me. |
|
31:4
Thou shalt bring me out of the snare which they have hidden for me; for thou, O Lord, art my defender. |
31:4
Pull me outºº
of the netºº
thatº
they have laid privilyºº
for me: forº
thouº
[art] my strength.º |
|
31:5
Into thine hands I will commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth. |
31:5
Into thine handº
I commitºº
my spirit:º
thou hast redeemedºº
me, O Yahwehº
Elº
of truth.º |
|
31:6
Thou has hated them that idly persist in vanities: but I have hoped in the Lord. |
31:6
I have hatedºº
them that regardºº
lyingº
vanities:º
but Iº
trustºº
inº
Yahweh.º |
|
31:7
I will exult and be glad in thy mercy: for thou hast looked upon mine affliction; thou hast saved my soul from distresses. |
31:7
I will be gladºº
and rejoiceºº
in thy mercy:º
forº
thou hast consideredººº
my trouble;º
thou hast knownºº
my soulº
in adversities;º |
|
31:8
And thou hast not shut me up into the hands of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a wide place. |
31:8
And hast notº
shut me upºº
into the handº
of the enemy:ºº
thou hast setºº
my feetº
in a large room.º |
|
31:9
Pity me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with indignation, my soul and by belly. |
31:9
Have mercyºº
upon me, O Yahweh,º
forº
I am in trouble:ººº
mine eyeº
is consumedºº
with grief,º
[yea], my soulº
and my belly.º |
|
31:10
For my life is spent with grief, and my years with groanings: my strength has been weakened through poverty, and my bones are troubled. |
31:10
Forº
my lifeº
is spentºº
with grief,º
and my yearsº
with sighing:º
my strengthº
failethºº
because of mine iniquity,º
and my bonesº
are consumed.ºº |
|
31:11
I became a reproach among all mine enemies, but exceedingly so to my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that saw me without fled from me. |
31:11
I wasº
a reproachº
among allºº
mine enemies,ºº
but especiallyº
among my neighbours,º
and a fearº
to mine acquaintance:ºº
they that did seeºº
me withoutº
fledºº
fromº
me. |
|
31:12
I have been forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am become as a broken vessel. |
31:12
I am forgottenºº
as a dead manºº
out of mind:ºº
I amº
like a brokenºº
vessel.º |
|
31:13
For I heard the slander of many that dwelt round about: when they were gathered together against me, they took counsel to take my life. |
31:13
Forº
I have heardºº
the slanderº
of many:º
fearº
[was] on every side:ºº
while they took counselºº
togetherº
againstº
me, they devisedºº
to take awayºº
my life.º |
|
31:14
But I hoped in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God. |
31:14
But Iº
trustedºº
inº
thee, O Yahweh:º
I said,ºº
Thouº
[art] my Elohim.º |
|
31:15
My lots are in thy hands: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, |
31:15
My timesº
[are] in thy hand:º
deliverºº
me from the handºº
of mine enemies,ºº
and from them that persecuteººº
me. |
|
31:16
and from them that persecute me. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me in thy mercy. |
31:16
Make thy faceº
to shineºº
uponº
thy servant:º
saveºº
me for thy mercies'º
sake. |
|
31:17
O Lord, let me not be ashamed, for I have called upon thee: let the ungodly be ashamed, and brought down to the grave{gr.Hades}. |
31:17
Let me notº
be ashamed,ºº
O Yahweh;º
forº
I have calledºº
uponº
thee: let the wickedº
be ashamed,ºº
[and] let them be silentºº
in the grave.º |
|
31:18
Let the deceitful lips become dumb, which speak iniquity against the righteous with pride and scorn. |
31:18
Let the lyingº
lipsº
be put to silence;ºº
which speakºº
grievousº
thingsº
proudlyº
and contemptuouslyº
againstº
the righteous.º |
|
31:19
How abundant is the multitude of thy goodness, O Lord, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee! thou hast wrought [it] out for them that hope on thee, in the presence of the sons of men. |
31:19
[Oh] howº
greatº
[is] thy goodness,º
whichº
thou hast laid upºº
for them that fearº
thee; [which] thou hast wroughtºº
for them that trustºº
in thee beforeº
the sonsº
of men!º |
|
31:20
Thou wilt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the vexation of man: thou wilt screen them in a tabernacle from the contradiction of tongues. |
31:20
Thou shalt hideºº
them in the secretº
of thy presenceº
from the prideºº
of man:º
thou shalt keep them secretlyºº
in a pavilionº
from the strifeºº
of tongues.º |
|
31:21
Blessed be the Lord: for he has magnified his mercy in a fortified city. |
31:21
Blessedºº
[be] Yahweh:º
forº
he hath shewed me his marvellousºº
kindnessºº
in a strongº
city.º |
|
31:22
But I said in my extreme fear, I am cast out from the sight of thine eyes: therefore thou didst hearken, O Lord, to the voice of my supplication when I cried to thee. |
31:22
For Iº
saidºº
in my haste,ºº
I am cut offºº
from beforeºº
thine eyes:º
neverthelessº
thou heardestºº
the voiceº
of my supplicationsº
when I criedºº
untoº
thee. |
|
31:23
Love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord seeks for truth, and renders [a reward] to them that deal very proudly. |
31:23
O loveººº
Yahweh,º
allº
ye his saints:º
[for] Yahwehº
preservethºº
the faithful,ºº
and plentifullyºº
rewardethºº
the proudº
doer.ºº |
|
31:24
Be of good courage, and let your heart be strengthened, all ye that hope in the Lord. |
31:24
Be of good courage,ºº
and he shall strengthenºº
your heart,º
allº
ye that hopeºº
in Yahweh.º |
