依赖耶和华求其救援

31 大卫的诗,交于伶长。

耶和华啊,我投靠你,求你使我永不羞愧,凭你的公义搭救我。
求你侧耳而听,快快救我,做我坚固的磐石、拯救我的保障。
因为你是我的岩石,我的山寨,所以求你为你名的缘故,引导我,指点我。
求你救我脱离人为我暗设的网罗,因为你是我的保障。
我将我的灵魂交在你手里,耶和华诚实的神啊,你救赎了我!
我恨恶那信奉虚无之神的人,我却倚靠耶和华。
我要为你的慈爱高兴欢喜,因为你见过我的困苦,知道我心中的艰难。
你未曾把我交在仇敌手里,你使我的脚站在宽阔之处。
耶和华啊,求你怜恤我,因为我在急难之中,我的眼睛因忧愁而干瘪,连我的身心也不安舒。
10 我的生命为愁苦所消耗,我的年岁为叹息所旷废,我的力量因我的罪孽衰败,我的骨头也枯干。
11 我因一切敌人成了羞辱,在我的邻舍跟前更甚。那认识我的都惧怕我,在外头看见我的都躲避我。
12 我被人忘记,如同死人,无人记念,我好像破碎的器皿。
13 我听见了许多人的谗谤,四围都是惊吓。他们一同商议攻击我的时候,就图谋要害我的性命。
14 耶和华啊,我仍旧倚靠你,我说:“你是我的神!”
15 我终身的事在你手中,求你救我脱离仇敌的手和那些逼迫我的人。
16 求你使你的脸光照仆人,凭你的慈爱拯救我。
17 耶和华啊,求你叫我不致羞愧,因为我曾呼吁你。求你使恶人羞愧,使他们在阴间缄默无声。
18 那撒谎的人逞骄傲轻慢,出狂妄的话攻击义人,愿他的嘴哑而无言!
19 敬畏你、投靠你的人,你为他们所积存的,在世人面前所施行的恩惠是何等大呢!
20 你必把他们藏在你面前的隐密处,免得遇见人的计谋;你必暗暗地保守他们在亭子里,免受口舌的争闹。
21 耶和华是应当称颂的!因为他在坚固城里,向我施展奇妙的慈爱。
22 至于我,我曾急促地说“我从你眼前被隔绝”,然而我呼求你的时候,你仍听我恳求的声音。
23 耶和华的圣民哪,你们都要爱他!耶和华保护诚实人,足足报应行事骄傲的人。
24 凡仰望耶和华的人,你们都要壮胆,坚固你们的心!

Psalm 31

For the choir director: A psalm of David.

O Lord, I have come to you for protection;
    don’t let me be disgraced.
    Save me, for you do what is right.
Turn your ear to listen to me;
    rescue me quickly.
Be my rock of protection,
    a fortress where I will be safe.
You are my rock and my fortress.
    For the honor of your name, lead me out of this danger.
Pull me from the trap my enemies set for me,
    for I find protection in you alone.
I entrust my spirit into your hand.
    Rescue me, Lord, for you are a faithful God.

I hate those who worship worthless idols.
    I trust in the Lord.
I will be glad and rejoice in your unfailing love,
    for you have seen my troubles,
    and you care about the anguish of my soul.
You have not handed me over to my enemies
    but have set me in a safe place.

Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am in distress.
    Tears blur my eyes.
    My body and soul are withering away.
10 I am dying from grief;
    my years are shortened by sadness.
Sin has drained my strength;
    I am wasting away from within.
11 I am scorned by all my enemies
    and despised by my neighbors—
    even my friends are afraid to come near me.
When they see me on the street,
    they run the other way.
12 I am ignored as if I were dead,
    as if I were a broken pot.
13 I have heard the many rumors about me,
    and I am surrounded by terror.
My enemies conspire against me,
    plotting to take my life.

14 But I am trusting you, O Lord,
    saying, “You are my God!”
15 My future is in your hands.
    Rescue me from those who hunt me down relentlessly.
16 Let your favor shine on your servant.
    In your unfailing love, rescue me.
17 Don’t let me be disgraced, O Lord,
    for I call out to you for help.
Let the wicked be disgraced;
    let them lie silent in the grave.[a]
18 Silence their lying lips—
    those proud and arrogant lips that accuse the godly.

19 How great is the goodness
    you have stored up for those who fear you.
You lavish it on those who come to you for protection,
    blessing them before the watching world.
20 You hide them in the shelter of your presence,
    safe from those who conspire against them.
You shelter them in your presence,
    far from accusing tongues.

21 Praise the Lord,
    for he has shown me the wonders of his unfailing love.
    He kept me safe when my city was under attack.
22 In panic I cried out,
    “I am cut off from the Lord!”
But you heard my cry for mercy
    and answered my call for help.

23 Love the Lord, all you godly ones!
    For the Lord protects those who are loyal to him,
    but he harshly punishes the arrogant.
24 So be strong and courageous,
    all you who put your hope in the Lord!

Psalm 31[a](A)

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

In you, Lord, I have taken refuge;(B)
    let me never be put to shame;
    deliver me in your righteousness.(C)
Turn your ear to me,(D)
    come quickly to my rescue;(E)
be my rock of refuge,(F)
    a strong fortress to save me.
Since you are my rock and my fortress,(G)
    for the sake of your name(H) lead and guide me.
Keep me free from the trap(I) that is set for me,
    for you are my refuge.(J)
Into your hands I commit my spirit;(K)
    deliver me, Lord, my faithful God.(L)

I hate those who cling to worthless idols;(M)
    as for me, I trust in the Lord.(N)
I will be glad and rejoice in your love,
    for you saw my affliction(O)
    and knew the anguish(P) of my soul.
You have not given me into the hands(Q) of the enemy
    but have set my feet in a spacious place.(R)

Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am in distress;(S)
    my eyes grow weak with sorrow,(T)
    my soul and body(U) with grief.
10 My life is consumed by anguish(V)
    and my years by groaning;(W)
my strength fails(X) because of my affliction,[b](Y)
    and my bones grow weak.(Z)
11 Because of all my enemies,(AA)
    I am the utter contempt(AB) of my neighbors(AC)
and an object of dread to my closest friends—
    those who see me on the street flee from me.
12 I am forgotten as though I were dead;(AD)
    I have become like broken pottery.
13 For I hear many whispering,(AE)
    “Terror on every side!”(AF)
They conspire against me(AG)
    and plot to take my life.(AH)

14 But I trust(AI) in you, Lord;
    I say, “You are my God.”
15 My times(AJ) are in your hands;
    deliver me from the hands of my enemies,
    from those who pursue me.
16 Let your face shine(AK) on your servant;
    save me in your unfailing love.(AL)
17 Let me not be put to shame,(AM) Lord,
    for I have cried out to you;
but let the wicked be put to shame
    and be silent(AN) in the realm of the dead.
18 Let their lying lips(AO) be silenced,
    for with pride and contempt
    they speak arrogantly(AP) against the righteous.

19 How abundant are the good things(AQ)
    that you have stored up for those who fear you,
that you bestow in the sight of all,(AR)
    on those who take refuge(AS) in you.
20 In the shelter(AT) of your presence you hide(AU) them
    from all human intrigues;(AV)
you keep them safe in your dwelling
    from accusing tongues.

21 Praise be to the Lord,(AW)
    for he showed me the wonders of his love(AX)
    when I was in a city under siege.(AY)
22 In my alarm(AZ) I said,
    “I am cut off(BA) from your sight!”
Yet you heard my cry(BB) for mercy
    when I called to you for help.

23 Love the Lord, all his faithful people!(BC)
    The Lord preserves those who are true to him,(BD)
    but the proud he pays back(BE) in full.
24 Be strong and take heart,(BF)
    all you who hope in the Lord.
