Psalms 31:3-24

31:3

For thou [art] my rock
<05553>

and my fortress
<04686>_;

therefore for thy name's
<08034>

sake lead
<05148> (8686)

me, and guide
<05095> (8762)

me.

31:4

Pull me out
<03318> (8686)

of the net
<07568>

that
<02098>

they have laid privily
<02934> (8804)

for me: for thou [art] my strength
<04581>_.

31:5

Into thine hand
<03027>

I commit
<06485> (8686)

my spirit
<07307>_:

thou hast redeemed
<06299> (8804)

me, O LORD
<03068>

God
<0410>

of truth
<0571>_.

31:6

I have hated
<08130> (8804)

them that regard
<08104> (8802)

lying
<07723>

vanities
<01892>_:

but I trust
<0982> (8804)

in the LORD
<03068>_.

31:7

I will be glad
<01523> (8799)

and rejoice
<08055> (8799)

in thy mercy
<02617>_:

for thou hast considered
<07200> (8804)

my trouble
<06040>_;

thou hast known
<03045> (8804)

my soul
<05315>

in adversities
<06869>_;

31:8

And hast not shut me up
<05462> (8689)

into the hand
<03027>

of the enemy
<0341> (8802)_:

thou hast set
<05975> (8689)

my feet
<07272>

in a large room
<04800>_.

31:9

Have mercy
<02603> (8798)

upon me, O LORD
<03068>_,

for I am in trouble
<06887> (8804)_:

mine eye
<05869>

is consumed
<06244> (8804)

with grief
<03708>_,

[yea], my soul
<05315>

and my belly
<0990>_.

31:10

For my life
<02416>

is spent
<03615> (8804)

with grief
<03015>_,

and my years
<08141>

with sighing
<0585>_:

my strength
<03581>

faileth
<03782> (8804)

because of mine iniquity
<05771>_,

and my bones
<06106>

are consumed
<06244> (8804)_.

31:11

I was a reproach
<02781>

among all mine enemies
<06887> (8802)_,

but especially
<03966>

among my neighbours
<07934>_,

and a fear
<06343>

to mine acquaintance
<03045> (8794)_:

they that did see
<07200> (8802)

me without
<02351>

fled
<05074> (8804)

from me.

31:12

I am forgotten
<07911> (8738)

as a dead man
<04191> (8801)

out of mind
<03820>_:

I am like a broken
<06> (8802)

vessel
<03627>_.

{a broken...: Heb. a vessel that perisheth}

31:13

For I have heard
<08085> (8804)

the slander
<01681>

of many
<07227>_:

fear
<04032>

[was] on every side
<05439>_:

while they took counsel
<03245> (8736)

together
<03162>

against me, they devised
<02161> (8804)

to take away
<03947> (8800)

my life
<05315>_.

31:14

But I trusted
<0982> (8804)

in thee, O LORD
<03068>_:

I said
<0559> (8804)_,

Thou [art] my God
<0430>_.

31:15

My times
<06256>

[are] in thy hand
<03027>_:

deliver
<05337> (8685)

me from the hand
<03027>

of mine enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

and from them that persecute
<07291> (8802)

me.

31:16

Make thy face
<06440>

to shine
<0215> (8685)

upon thy servant
<05650>_:

save
<03467> (8685)

me for thy mercies
<02617>_'

sake.

31:17

Let me not be ashamed
<0954> (8799)_,

O LORD
<03068>_;

for I have called
<07121> (8804)

upon thee: let the wicked
<07563>

be ashamed
<0954> (8799)_,

[and] let them be silent
<01826> (8799)

in the grave
<07585>_.

{silent...: or, cut off for}

31:18

Let the lying
<08267>

lips
<08193>

be put to silence
<0481> (8735)_;

which speak
<01696> (8802)

grievous
<06277>

things proudly
<01346>

and contemptuously
<0937>

against the righteous
<06662>_.

{grievous...: Heb. a hard thing}

31:19

[Oh] how great
<07227>

[is] thy goodness
<02898>_,

which thou hast laid up
<06845> (8804)

for them that fear
<03373>

thee; [which] thou hast wrought
<06466> (8804)

for them that trust
<02620> (8802)

in thee before the sons
<01121>

of men
<0120>_!

31:20

Thou shalt hide
<05641> (8686)

them in the secret
<05643>

of thy presence
<06440>

from the pride
<07407>

of man
<0376>_:

thou shalt keep them secretly
<06845> (8799)

in a pavilion
<05521>

from the strife
<07379>

of tongues
<03956>_.

31:21

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] the LORD
<03068>_:

for he hath shewed me his marvellous
<06381> (8689)

kindness
<02617>

in a strong
<04692>

city
<05892>_.

{strong: or, fenced}

31:22

For I said
<0559> (8804)

in my haste
<02648> (8800)_,

I am cut off
<01629> (8738)

from before
<05048>

thine eyes
<05869>_:

nevertheless
<0403>

thou heardest
<08085> (8804)

the voice
<06963>

of my supplications
<08469>

when I cried
<07768> (8763)

unto thee.

31:23

O love
<0157> (8798)

the LORD
<03068>_,

all ye his saints
<02623>_:

[for] the LORD
<03068>

preserveth
<05341> (8802)

the faithful
<0539> (8803)_,

and plentifully
<03499>

rewardeth
<07999> (8764)

the proud
<01346>

doer
<06213> (8802)_.

31:24

Be of good courage
<02388> (8798)_,

and he shall strengthen
<0553> (8686)

your heart
<03824>_,

all ye that hope
<03176> (8764)

in the LORD
<03068>_.
