Psalms 31:14-23 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

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.

21. Blessed is Yahweh, because he has worked marvelously his loyal love to me in a besieged city.

22. As for me, I said in my alarm, “I am cut off from before your eyes.” However you heard the voice of my supplications when I cried to you for help.

23. Love Yahweh, all you his faithful ones. Yahweh preserves the faithful but repays abundantly the one who acts arrogantly.
