Psalms 31Into Your Hand I Commit My Spirit
To The Chief Musician, A Psalm Of David
King James Version
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 in thy righteousness.
deliver me speedily:
be thou my strong rock,
for an house of defence to save me.
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:and guide me.
for thou 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 known my soul in adversities;
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,
yea, my soul and my belly.
10 For my life is spent with grief,yea, my soul and my belly.
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,my strength faileth because of mine iniquity,
and my bones are consumed.
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:and a fear to mine acquaintance:
they that did see me without fled from me.
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.
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 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:and from them that persecute me.
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,
and let them be silent in the grave.
18 Let the lying lips be put to silence;and let them be silent in the grave.
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 presencewhich thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee
before the sons of men!
from the pride of man:
thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion
from the strife of tongues.
thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion
from the strife of tongues.
21 Blessed 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.
nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications
when I cried unto thee.
23 O love the Lord, all ye his saints:
for the Lord preserveth the faithful,
and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
24 Be of good courage,and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
and he shall strengthen your heart,
all ye that hope in the Lord.
all ye that hope in the Lord.
