31:1 To the chief Musician 5329 8764, A Psalm 4210 of David 1732. In thee, O LORD 3068, do I put my trust 2620 8804; let me never 408 5769 be ashamed 954 8799: deliver 6403 8761 me in thy righteousness 6666.

31:2 Bow down 5186 8685 thine ear 241 to me; deliver 5337 8685 me speedily 4120: be thou my strong 4581 rock 6697, for an house 1004 of defence 4686 to save 3467 8687 me.(my…: Heb. to me for a rock of strength)

31:3 For thou [art] my rock 5553 and my fortress 4686; therefore for thy name's 8034 sake lead 5148 8686 me, and guide 5095 8762 me.

31:4 Pull me out 3318 8686 of the net 7568 that 2098 they have laid privily 2934 8804 for me: for thou [art] my strength 4581.

31:5 Into thine hand 3027 I commit 6485 8686 my spirit 7307: thou hast redeemed 6299 8804 me, O LORD 3068 God 410 of truth 571.

31:6 I have hated 8130 8804 them that regard 8104 8802 lying 7723 vanities 1892: but I trust 982 8804 in the LORD 3068.

31:7 I will be glad 1523 8799 and rejoice 8055 8799 in thy mercy 2617: for thou hast considered 7200 8804 my trouble 6040; thou hast known 3045 8804 my soul 5315 in adversities 6869;

31:8 And hast not shut me up 5462 8689 into the hand 3027 of the enemy 341 8802: thou hast set 5975 8689 my feet 7272 in a large room 4800.

31:9 Have mercy 2603 8798 upon me, O LORD 3068, for I am in trouble 6887 8804: mine eye 5869 is consumed 6244 8804 with grief 3708, [yea], my soul 5315 and my belly 990.

31:10 For my life 2416 is spent 3615 8804 with grief 3015, and my years 8141 with sighing 585: my strength 3581 faileth 3782 8804 because of mine iniquity 5771, and my bones 6106 are consumed 6244 8804.

31:11 I was a reproach 2781 among all mine enemies 6887 8802, but especially 3966 among my neighbours 7934, and a fear 6343 to mine acquaintance 3045 8794: they that did see 7200 8802 me without 2351 fled 5074 8804 from me.

31:12 I am forgotten 7911 8738 as a dead man 4191 8801 out of mind 3820: I am like a broken 6 8802 vessel 3627.(a broken…: Heb. a vessel that perisheth)

31:13 For I have heard 8085 8804 the slander 1681 of many 7227: fear 4032 [was] on every side 5439: while they took counsel 3245 8736 together 3162 against me, they devised 2161 8804 to take away 3947 8800 my life 5315.

31:14 But I trusted 982 8804 in thee, O LORD 3068: I said 559 8804, Thou [art] my God 430.

31:15 My times 6256 [are] in thy hand 3027: deliver 5337 8685 me from the hand 3027 of mine enemies 341 8802, and from them that persecute 7291 8802 me.

31:16 Make thy face 6440 to shine 215 8685 upon thy servant 5650: save 3467 8685 me for thy mercies' 2617 sake.

31:17 Let me not be ashamed 954 8799, O LORD 3068; for I have called 7121 8804 upon thee: let the wicked 7563 be ashamed 954 8799, [and] let them be silent 1826 8799 in the grave 7585.(silent…: or, cut off for)

31:18 Let the lying 8267 lips 8193 be put to silence 481 8735; which speak 1696 8802 grievous 6277 things proudly 1346 and contemptuously 937 against the righteous 6662.(grievous…: Heb. a hard thing)

31:19 [Oh] how great 7227 [is] thy goodness 2898, which thou hast laid up 6845 8804 for them that fear 3373 thee; [which] thou hast wrought 6466 8804 for them that trust 2620 8802 in thee before the sons 1121 of men 120!

31:20 Thou shalt hide 5641 8686 them in the secret 5643 of thy presence 6440 from the pride 7407 of man 376: thou shalt keep them secretly 6845 8799 in a pavilion 5521 from the strife 7379 of tongues 3956.

31:21 Blessed 1288 8803 [be] the LORD 3068: for he hath shewed me his marvellous 6381 8689 kindness 2617 in a strong 4692 city 5892.(strong: or, fenced)

31:22 For I said 559 8804 in my haste 2648 8800, I am cut off 1629 8738 from before 5048 thine eyes 5869: nevertheless 403 thou heardest 8085 8804 the voice 6963 of my supplications 8469 when I cried 7768 8763 unto thee.

31:23 O love 157 8798 the LORD 3068, all ye his saints 2623: [for] the LORD 3068 preserveth 5341 8802 the faithful 539 8803, and plentifully 3499 rewardeth 7999 8764 the proud 1346 doer 6213 8802.

31:24 Be of good courage 2388 8798, and he shall strengthen 553 8686 your heart 3824, all ye that hope 3176 8764 in the LORD 3068.
