Psalms 31:4-16 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

4. Bring me out of the net that they have secretly set for me, for you are my refuge.

5. Into your hand I commit my spirit. You have redeemed me, O Yahweh, faithful God.

6. I hate those devoted to useless idols, but I trust Yahweh.

7. I will exult and rejoice in your loyal love. Because you have seen my misery, you know the distresses of my life.

8. And you have not delivered me into the hand of the enemy. You have set my feet in a broad place.

9. Be gracious to me, O Yahweh, because I have distress. My eye wastes away because of vexation, along with my soul and my body.

10. For my life is at an end with sorrow, and my years with sighing. My strength stumbles because of my iniquity, and my bones waste away.

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.
