Psalms 31:11-20 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

11. Because of all my adversaries I have become a disgrace, especially to my neighbors, and a dread to my acquaintances. Those who see me in the street flee from me.

12. I have become forgotten like one dead, out of mind. I am like a destroyed vessel.

13. For I hear the rumor of many, “Terror on every side!” When conspiring together against me, they have plotted to take my life.

14. But as for me, I trust you, O Yahweh. I say, “You are my God.”

15. My times are in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies and from those who pursue me.

16. Shine your face upon your servant. Save me by your loyal love.

17. O Yahweh, let me not be put to shame, for I call on you. Let the wicked be put to shame. Let them go silently to Sheol.

18. Let lying lips be dumb, that speak against the righteous unrestrained with arrogance and contempt.

19. How abundant is your goodness that you have stored up for those who fear you, that you perform for those who take refuge in you before the children of humankind.

20. You will hide them in the protection of your presence from the plots of man. You will hide them in a shelter from the strife of tongues.
