New Testament

Psalms 31:1-13 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

1. Lord, I trust in you.Let me never be disgraced.Save me because you do what is right.

2. Listen to me.Save me quickly.Be my rock of protection,a strong city to save me.

3. You are my rock and my protection.For the good of your name, lead me and guide me.

4. Set me free from the trap they set for me.You are my protection.

5. I give you my life.Save me, Lord, God of truth.

6. I hate those who worship false gods.I trust only in the Lord.

7. I will be glad because of your love.You saw my suffering.You knew my troubles.

8. You have not let my enemies defeat me.You have set me in a safe place.

9. Lord, have mercy. I am in misery.My eyes are weak from so much crying.My whole being is tired from grief.

10. My life is ending in sadness.My years are spent in crying.My troubles are using up my strength.My bones are getting weaker.

11. Because of all my troubles, my enemies hate me.Even my neighbors look down on me.When my friends see me,they are afraid and run.

12. I am like a piece of a broken pot.I am forgotten as if I were dead.

13. I have heard many insults.Terror is all around me.They make plans against me.They want to kill me.
