New Testament

Psalms 31:13-20 New Century Version (NCV)

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

14. Lord, I trust you.I have said, “You are my God.”

15. My life is in your hands.Save me from my enemiesand from those who are chasing me.

16. Show your kindness to me, your servant.Save me because of your love.

17. Lord, I called to you,so do not let me be disgraced.Let the wicked be disgracedand lie silent in the grave.

18. With pride and hatredthey speak against those who do right.So silence their lying lips.

19. How great is your goodnessthat you have stored up for those who fear you,that you have given to those who trust you.You do this for all to see.

20. You protect them by your presencefrom what people plan against them.You shelter them from evil words.
