Textus Receptus Bibles
Jay P. Green's Literal Translation 1993
31:1 | To the chief musician. A Psalm of David. In You, O Jehovah, I sought refuge; let me never be ashamed; deliver me in Your righteousness. |
31:2 | Bow down Your ear to me; deliver me quickly, be a strong rock to me, for a house of fortresses to save me. |
31:3 | For You are my Rock and my Fortress; and for Your name's sake lead me and guide me. |
31:4 | Bring me out of the net that they hid for me, for You are my strength. |
31:5 | Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O Jehovah, God of truth. |
31:6 | I have hated those keeping worthless idols; but I trust in Jehovah. |
31:7 | And I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy; for You have seen my affliction; You have known the distresses in my soul; |
31:8 | and have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a broad place. |
31:9 | Be gracious to me, O Jehovah, for I am in trouble; my eye has wasted away with grief, my soul and my belly. |
31:10 | For my life is ending with grief, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones have wasted away. |
31:11 | I was a reproach among all my foes, but especially to my neighbors; and a fear to my friends, those who saw me outside fled from me. |
31:12 | I am forgotten like one dead from the heart; I am like a perishing vessel. |
31:13 | For I have heard the slander of many; fear is all around; because of their plottings together against me, they planned to take away my life. |
31:14 | But I trusted in You, O Jehovah; I said, You are my God. |
31:15 | My times are in Your hand; deliver me from the hand of my enemies and from those who pursue me. |
31:16 | Make Your face shine on Your servant; save me in Your mercy. |
31:17 | Let me not be ashamed, O Jehovah; for I have called upon You; let the wicked be ashamed; let them be silent in Sheol. |
31:18 | Let the lying lips be silenced which speak recklessly against the righteous with pride and scorn. |
31:19 | How great is Your goodness which You have laid up for those who fear You; You have worked for those who trust in You before the sons of mankind. |
31:20 | In the secrecy of Your presence You shall hide them from man's plots; You shall cover them in a booth, from the strife of tongues. |
31:21 | Blessed be Jehovah, for He has worked His mercy wondrously to me in a besieged city. |
31:22 | For I said in my haste, I am cut off from Your eyes; surely you heard the voice of my prayers when I cried to You. |
31:23 | O love Jehovah, all you saints of His; Jehovah preserves the faithful, and abundantly repays the proud doer. |
31:24 | Be strong, and He will make your heart stronger, all you who hope in Jehovah. |
