Psalm 31

Prayer and Praise for Deliverance from Enemies

To the leader. A Psalm of David.

In you, O Lord, I seek refuge;
    do not let me ever be put to shame;
    in your righteousness deliver me.(A)
Incline your ear to me;
    rescue me speedily.
Be a rock of refuge for me,
    a strong fortress to save me.(B)

You are indeed my rock and my fortress;
    for your name’s sake lead me and guide me;(C)
take me out of the net that is hidden for me,
    for you are my refuge.(D)
Into your hand I commit my spirit;
    you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God.(E)

You hate[a] those who pay regard to worthless idols,
    but I trust in the Lord.(F)
I will exult and rejoice in your steadfast love,
    because you have seen my affliction;
    you have taken notice of my adversities(G)
and have not delivered me into the hand of the enemy;
    you have set my feet in a broad place.(H)

Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am in distress;
    my eye wastes away from grief,
    my soul and body also.
10 For my life is spent with sorrow
    and my years with sighing;
my strength fails because of my misery,[b]
    and my bones waste away.(I)

11 I am the scorn of all my adversaries,
    a horror[c] to my neighbors,
an object of dread to my acquaintances;
    those who see me in the street flee from me.(J)
12 I have passed out of mind like one who is dead;
    I have become like a broken vessel.(K)
13 For I hear the whispering of many—
    terror all around!—
as they scheme together against me,
    as they plot to take my life.(L)

14 But I trust in you, O Lord;
    I say, “You are my God.”(M)
15 My times are in your hand;
    deliver me from the hand of my enemies and persecutors.(N)
16 Let your face shine upon your servant;
    save me in your steadfast love.(O)
17 Do not let me be put to shame, O Lord,
    for I call on you;
let the wicked be put to shame;
    let them go dumbfounded to Sheol.(P)
18 Let the lying lips be stilled
    that speak insolently against the righteous
    with pride and contempt.(Q)

19 O how abundant is your goodness
    that you have laid up for those who fear you
and accomplished for those who take refuge in you,
    in the sight of everyone!(R)
20 In the shelter of your presence you hide them
    from human plots;
you hold them safe under your shelter
    from contentious tongues.(S)

21 Blessed be the Lord,
    for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me
    when I was beset as a city under siege.(T)
22 I had said in my alarm,
    “I am driven far[d] from your sight.”
But you heard my supplications
    when I cried out to you for help.(U)

23 Love the Lord, all you his saints.
    The Lord preserves the faithful
    but abundantly repays the one who acts haughtily.(V)
24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage,
    all you who wait for the Lord.(W)

Psalm 32

The Joy of Forgiveness

Of David. A Maskil.

Happy are those whose transgression is forgiven,
    whose sin is covered.(X)
Happy are those to whom the Lord imputes no iniquity
    and in whose spirit there is no deceit.(Y)

While I kept silent, my body wasted away
    through my groaning all day long.(Z)
For day and night your hand was heavy upon me;
    my strength was dried up[e] as by the heat of summer. Selah(AA)

Then I acknowledged my sin to you,
    and I did not hide my iniquity;
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
    and you forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah(AB)

Therefore let all who are faithful
    offer prayer to you;
at a time of distress,[f] the rush of mighty waters
    shall not reach them.(AC)
You are a hiding place for me;
    you preserve me from trouble;
    you surround me with glad cries of deliverance. Selah(AD)

I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go;
    I will counsel you with my eye upon you.(AE)
Do not be like a horse or a mule, without understanding,
    whose temper must be curbed with bit and bridle,
    else it will not stay near you.(AF)

10 Many are the torments of the wicked,
    but steadfast love surrounds those who trust in the Lord.(AG)
11 Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, O righteous,
    and shout for joy, all you upright in heart.(AH)

Psalm 33

The Greatness and Goodness of God

Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous.
    Praise befits the upright.(AI)
Praise the Lord with the lyre;
    make melody to him with the harp of ten strings.(AJ)
Sing to him a new song;
    play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.(AK)

For the word of the Lord is upright,
    and all his work is done in faithfulness.(AL)
He loves righteousness and justice;
    the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.(AM)

By the word of the Lord the heavens were made
    and all their host by the breath of his mouth.(AN)
He gathered the waters of the sea as in a bottle;
    he put the deeps in storehouses.

Let all the earth fear the Lord;
    let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him,(AO)
for he spoke, and it came to be;
    he commanded, and it stood firm.(AP)

10 The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
    he frustrates the plans of the peoples.(AQ)
11 The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
    the thoughts of his heart to all generations.(AR)
12 Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord,
    the people whom he has chosen as his heritage.(AS)

13 The Lord looks down from heaven;
    he sees all humankind.(AT)
14 From where he sits enthroned he watches
    all the inhabitants of the earth—
15 he who fashions the hearts of them all
    and observes all their deeds.(AU)
16 A king is not saved by his great army;
    a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.(AV)
17 The war horse is a vain hope for victory,
    and by its great might it cannot save.(AW)

18 Truly the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,
    on those who hope in his steadfast love,(AX)
19 to deliver their soul from death
    and to keep them alive in famine.(AY)

20 Our soul waits for the Lord;
    he is our help and shield.
21 Our heart is glad in him
    because we trust in his holy name.(AZ)
22 Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,
    even as we hope in you.

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.

Psalm 32

Of David. A maskil.[c]

Blessed is the one
    whose transgressions are forgiven,
    whose sins are covered.(BG)
Blessed is the one
    whose sin the Lord does not count against them(BH)
    and in whose spirit is no deceit.(BI)

When I kept silent,(BJ)
    my bones wasted away(BK)
    through my groaning(BL) all day long.
For day and night
    your hand was heavy(BM) on me;
my strength was sapped(BN)
    as in the heat of summer.[d]

Then I acknowledged my sin to you
    and did not cover up my iniquity.(BO)
I said, “I will confess(BP)
    my transgressions(BQ) to the Lord.”
And you forgave
    the guilt of my sin.(BR)

Therefore let all the faithful pray to you
    while you may be found;(BS)
surely the rising(BT) of the mighty waters(BU)
    will not reach them.(BV)
You are my hiding place;(BW)
    you will protect me from trouble(BX)
    and surround me with songs of deliverance.(BY)

I will instruct(BZ) you and teach you(CA) in the way you should go;
    I will counsel you with my loving eye on(CB) you.
Do not be like the horse or the mule,
    which have no understanding
but must be controlled by bit and bridle(CC)
    or they will not come to you.
10 Many are the woes of the wicked,(CD)
    but the Lord’s unfailing love
    surrounds the one who trusts(CE) in him.

11 Rejoice in the Lord(CF) and be glad, you righteous;
    sing, all you who are upright in heart!

Psalm 33

Sing joyfully(CG) to the Lord, you righteous;
    it is fitting(CH) for the upright(CI) to praise him.
Praise the Lord with the harp;(CJ)
    make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.(CK)
Sing to him a new song;(CL)
    play skillfully, and shout for joy.(CM)

For the word of the Lord is right(CN) and true;(CO)
    he is faithful(CP) in all he does.
The Lord loves righteousness and justice;(CQ)
    the earth is full of his unfailing love.(CR)

By the word(CS) of the Lord the heavens were made,(CT)
    their starry host(CU) by the breath of his mouth.
He gathers the waters(CV) of the sea into jars[e];(CW)
    he puts the deep into storehouses.
Let all the earth fear the Lord;(CX)
    let all the people of the world(CY) revere him.(CZ)
For he spoke, and it came to be;
    he commanded,(DA) and it stood firm.

10 The Lord foils(DB) the plans(DC) of the nations;(DD)
    he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
11 But the plans of the Lord stand firm(DE) forever,
    the purposes(DF) of his heart through all generations.

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,(DG)
    the people he chose(DH) for his inheritance.(DI)
13 From heaven the Lord looks down(DJ)
    and sees all mankind;(DK)
14 from his dwelling place(DL) he watches
    all who live on earth—
15 he who forms(DM) the hearts of all,
    who considers everything they do.(DN)

16 No king is saved by the size of his army;(DO)
    no warrior escapes by his great strength.
17 A horse(DP) is a vain hope for deliverance;
    despite all its great strength it cannot save.
18 But the eyes(DQ) of the Lord are on those who fear him,
    on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,(DR)
19 to deliver them from death(DS)
    and keep them alive in famine.(DT)

20 We wait(DU) in hope for the Lord;
    he is our help and our shield.
21 In him our hearts rejoice,(DV)
    for we trust in his holy name.(DW)
22 May your unfailing love(DX) be with us, Lord,
    even as we put our hope in you.
