| Psalms 31: (YLT) |
| 1) To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age, In Thy righteousness deliver me. |
| 2) Incline unto me Thine ear hastily, deliver me, Be to me for a strong rock, For a house of bulwarks to save me. |
| 3) For my rock and my bulwark [art] Thou, For Thy name's sake lead me and tend me. |
| 4) Bring me out from the net that they hid for me, For Thou [art] my strength. |
| 5) Into Thy hand I commit my spirit, Thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah God of truth. |
| 6) I have hated the observers of lying vanities, And I toward Jehovah have been confident. |
| 7) I rejoice, and am glad in Thy kindness, In that Thou hast seen mine affliction, Thou hast known in adversities my soul. |
| 8) And Thou hast not shut me up, Into the hand of an enemy, Thou hast caused my feet to stand in a broad place. |
| 9) Favour me, O Jehovah, for distress [is] to me, Mine eye, my soul, and my body Have become old by provocation. |
| 10) For my life hath been consumed in sorrow And my years in sighing. Feeble because of mine iniquity hath been my strength, And my bones have become old. |
| 11) Among all mine adversaries I have been a reproach, And to my neighbours exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintances, Those seeing me without -- fled from me. |
| 12) I have been forgotten as dead out of mind, I have been as a perishing vessel. |
| 13) For I have heard an evil account of many, Fear [is] round about. In their being united against me, To take my life they have devised, |
| 14) And I on Thee -- I have trusted, O Jehovah, I have said, 'Thou [art] my God.' |
| 15) In Thy hand [are] my times, Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from my pursuers. |
| 16) Cause Thy face to shine on Thy servant, Save me in Thy kindness. |
| 17) O Jehovah, let me not be ashamed, For I have called Thee, let the wicked be ashamed, Let them become silent to Sheol. |
| 18) Let lips of falsehood become dumb, That are speaking against the righteous, Ancient sayings, in pride and contempt. |
| 19) How abundant is Thy goodness, That Thou hast laid up for those fearing Thee, |
| 20) Thou hast wrought for those trusting in Thee, Before sons of men. Thou hidest them in the secret place of Thy presence, From artifices of man, Thou concealest them in a tabernacle, From the strife of tongues. |
| 21) Blessed [is] Jehovah, For He hath made marvellous His kindness To me in a city of bulwarks. |
| 22) And I -- I have said in my haste, 'I have been cut off from before Thine eyes,' But Thou hast heard the voice of my supplications, In my crying unto Thee. |
| 23) Love Jehovah, all ye His saints, Jehovah is keeping the faithful, And recompensing abundantly a proud doer. |
| 24) Be strong, and He strengtheneth your heart, All ye who are waiting for Jehovah! |
