<< Mazmur 31 >>

1For the leader: a psalm: for David IN you, LORD, I have found refuge; let me never be put to shame. By your saving power deliver me,

2bend down and hear me, come quickly to my rescue. Be to me a rock of refuge, a stronghold to keep me safe.

3You are my rock and my stronghold; lead and guide me for the honour of your name.

4Set me free from the net that has been hidden to catch me; for you are my refuge.

5Into your hand I commit my spirit. You have delivered me, LORD, you God of truth.

6I hate all who worship worthless idols; I for my part put my trust in the LORD.

7I shall rejoice and be glad in your unfailing love, for you have seen my affliction and have cared for me in my distress.

8You have not abandoned me to the power of the enemy, but have set me where I have untrammelled liberty.

9Be gracious to me, LORD, for I am in distress and my eyes are dimmed with grief.

10My life is worn away with sorrow and my years with sighing; through misery my strength falters and my bones waste away.

11I am scorned by all my enemies, my neighbours find me burdensome, my friends shudder at me; when they see me on the street they turn away quickly.

12Like the dead I have passed out of mind; I have become like some article thrown away.

13For I hear many whispering threats from every side, conspiring together against me and scheming to take my life.

14But in you, LORD, I put my trust; I say, “You are my God.”

15My fortunes are in your hand; rescue me from the power of my enemies and those who persecute me.

16Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love.

17LORD, do not humiliate me when I call to you; let humiliation be for the wicked, let them sink into Sheol.

18May lying lips be struck dumb, lips speaking with contempt against the righteous in pride and arrogance.

19How great is your goodness, stored up for those who fear you, made manifest before mortal eyes for all who turn to you for shelter.

20You will hide them under the cover of your presence from those who conspire together; you keep them in your shelter, safe from contentious tongues.

21Blessed be the LORD, whose unfailing love for me was wonderful when I was in sore straits.

22In sudden alarm I said, “I am shut out from your sight.” But you heard my plea when I called to you for help.

23Love the LORD, all you his loyal servants. The LORD protects the faithful, but the arrogant he repays in full.

24Be strong and stout-hearted, all you whose hope is in the LORD.
