Psalms 31:1-18

Into Your Hand I Commit My Spirit

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

1 aIn you, O Lord, do I btake refuge;
clet me never be put to shame;
in your drighteousness deliver me!
 2Incline your ear to me;
rescue me speedily!
Be ea rock of frefuge for me,
a strong fortress to save me!
 3 For you are my rock and my fortress;
and for your gname’s sake you lead me and guide me;
 4you htake me out of ithe net they have hidden for me,
for you are my jrefuge.
 5 kInto your hand I commit my spirit;
you have redeemed me, O Lord, lfaithful God.
 6 I mhate ▼
▼Masoretic Text; one Hebrew manuscript, Septuagint, Syriac, Jerome You hate
 those who pay oregard to worthless pidols,
but I trust in the Lord.
 7I will rejoice and be glad in your steadfast love,
because you have seen my affliction;
you have qknown the distress of my soul,
 8and you have not rdelivered me into the hand of the enemy;
you have set my feet in sa broad place.
 9 Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am tin distress;
umy eye is wasted from grief;
my soul and my body also.
 10For my life is spent with sorrow,
and my years with sighing;
my strength fails because of my iniquity,
and vmy bones waste away.
 11 Because of all my adversaries I have become wa reproach,
especially to my xneighbors,
and an object of dread to my acquaintances;
those who see me in the street yflee from me.
 12I have been zforgotten like one who is dead;
I have become like aaa broken vessel.
 13For I abhear the whispering of many—
terror on every side!—
acas they scheme together against me,
as they plot to take my life.
 14 But I adtrust in you, O Lord;
I say, “You are my God.”
 15My aetimes are in your hand;
afrescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my persecutors!
 16 agMake your face shine on your servant;
save me in your steadfast love!
 17O Lord, ahlet me not be put to shame,
for I call upon you;
let the wicked be put to shame;
let them go aisilently to Sheol.
 18Let the lying lips be mute,
which ajspeak akinsolently against the righteous
in pride and contempt.
