Chapter 31
| Psal | NETtext | 31:1 | For the music director; a psalm of David.In you, O LORD, I have taken shelter! Never let me be humiliated! Vindicate me by rescuing me! | |
| Psal | NETtext | 31:2 | Listen to me! Quickly deliver me! Be my protector and refuge, a stronghold where I can be safe! | |
| Psal | NETtext | 31:3 | For you are my high ridge and my stronghold; for the sake of your own reputation you lead me and guide me. | |
| Psal | NETtext | 31:7 | I will be happy and rejoice in your faithfulness, because you notice my pain and you are aware of how distressed I am. | |
| Psal | NETtext | 31:8 | You do not deliver me over to the power of the enemy; you enable me to stand in a wide open place. | |
| Psal | NETtext | 31:9 | Have mercy on me, for I am in distress! My eyes grow dim from suffering. I have lost my strength. | |
| Psal | NETtext | 31:10 | For my life nears its end in pain; my years draw to a close as I groan. My strength fails me because of my sin, and my bones become brittle. | |
| Psal | NETtext | 31:11 | Because of all my enemies, people disdain me; my neighbors are appalled by my suffering - those who know me are horrified by my condition; those who see me in the street run away from me. | |
| Psal | NETtext | 31:12 | I am forgotten, like a dead man no one thinks about; I am regarded as worthless, like a broken jar. | |
| Psal | NETtext | 31:13 | For I hear what so many are saying, the terrifying news that comes from every direction. When they plot together against me, they figure out how they can take my life. | |
| Psal | NETtext | 31:15 | You determine my destiny! Rescue me from the power of my enemies and those who chase me. | |
| Psal | NETtext | 31:17 | O LORD, do not let me be humiliated, for I call out to you! May evil men be humiliated! May they go wailing to the grave! | |
| Psal | NETtext | 31:18 | May lying lips be silenced - lips that speak defiantly against the innocent with arrogance and contempt! | |
| Psal | NETtext | 31:19 | How great is your favor, which you store up for your loyal followers! In plain sight of everyone you bestow it on those who take shelter in you. | |
| Psal | NETtext | 31:20 | You hide them with you, where they are safe from the attacks of men; you conceal them in a shelter, where they are safe from slanderous attacks. | |
| Psal | NETtext | 31:21 | The LORD deserves praise for he demonstrated his amazing faithfulness to me when I was besieged by enemies. | |
| Psal | NETtext | 31:22 | I jumped to conclusions and said, "I am cut off from your presence!" But you heard my plea for mercy when I cried out to you for help. | |
| Psal | NETtext | 31:23 | Love the LORD, all you faithful followers of his! The LORD protects those who have integrity, but he pays back in full the one who acts arrogantly. | |
