Psalm 31:3-17
New International Version
3 Since you are my rock and my fortress,(A)
for the sake of your name(B) lead and guide me.
4 Keep me free from the trap(C) that is set for me,
for you are my refuge.(D)
5 Into your hands I commit my spirit;(E)
deliver me, Lord, my faithful God.(F)
6 I hate those who cling to worthless idols;(G)
as for me, I trust in the Lord.(H)
7 I will be glad and rejoice in your love,
for you saw my affliction(I)
and knew the anguish(J) of my soul.
8 You have not given me into the hands(K) of the enemy
but have set my feet in a spacious place.(L)
9 Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am in distress;(M)
my eyes grow weak with sorrow,(N)
my soul and body(O) with grief.
10 My life is consumed by anguish(P)
and my years by groaning;(Q)
my strength fails(R) because of my affliction,[a](S)
and my bones grow weak.(T)
11 Because of all my enemies,(U)
I am the utter contempt(V) of my neighbors(W)
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;(X)
I have become like broken pottery.
13 For I hear many whispering,(Y)
“Terror on every side!”(Z)
They conspire against me(AA)
and plot to take my life.(AB)
14 But I trust(AC) in you, Lord;
I say, “You are my God.”
15 My times(AD) are in your hands;
deliver me from the hands of my enemies,
from those who pursue me.
16 Let your face shine(AE) on your servant;
save me in your unfailing love.(AF)
17 Let me not be put to shame,(AG) Lord,
for I have cried out to you;
but let the wicked be put to shame
and be silent(AH) in the realm of the dead.
