Psalms 31:1-14 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

1. In you, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in your righteousness.

2. Bow down your ear to me; deliver me speedily: be my strong rock, for a house of defense to save me.

3. For you are my rock and my fortress; therefore for your name's sake lead me, and guide me.

4. Pull me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me: for you are my strength.

5. Into your hand I commit my spirit: you have redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.

6. I have hated them that regard vain idols: but I trust in the LORD.

7. I will be glad and rejoice in your mercy: for you have considered my trouble; you have known my soul in adversities;

8. And have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: you have set my feet in a wide place.

9. Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: my eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my body.

10. For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones are consumed.

11. I was a reproach among all my enemies, but especially among my neighbors, and a horror to my acquaintance: they that did see me outside fled from me.

12. I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.

13. For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.

14. But I trusted in you, O LORD: I said, you are my God.
