12
To the end that
my
glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O L
ORD
my God, I will
give thanks unto thee for ever.
CHAPTER 31
In thee, O L
ORD
, 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
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
art
my strength.
5
Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O L
ORD
God of truth.
6
I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the L
ORD
.
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 L
ORD
, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief,
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
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 L
ORD
: I said, Thou
art
my God.
15
My times
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 L
ORD
; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed,
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
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!
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.
