Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.
-
But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.

then let my enemy pursue and overtake me; let him trample my life to the ground and make me sleep in the dust.

Bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure— you, the righteous God who probes minds and hearts.
-
what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?

who despises a vile person but honors those who fear the Lord; who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and does not change their mind;
-
because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay.
-
Let my vindication come from you; may your eyes see what is right.
-

Guard my life and rescue me; do not let me be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.
-
Test me, Lord, and try me, examine my heart and my mind;
-
for I have always been mindful of your unfailing love and have lived in reliance on your faithfulness.

Psalm 31
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
In you, Lord, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; deliver me in your righteousness.

Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love.
-
Let me not be put to shame, Lord, for I have cried out to you; but let the wicked be put to shame and be silent in the realm of the dead.
-
Let their lying lips be silenced, for with pride and contempt they speak arrogantly against the righteous.
