Psalms 31:1-14 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

1. In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.

2. Bow down thine ear unto me; deliver me speedily: be thou to me a strong rock, an house of defence to save me.

3. For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me and guide me.

4. Pluck me out of the net that they have laid privily for me; for thou art my strong hold.

5. Into thine hand I commend my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, thou God of truth.

6. I hate them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the Lord.

7. I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast seen my affliction; thou hast known my soul in adversities:

8. And thou hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; thou hast set my feet in a large place.

9. Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in distress: mine eye wasteth away with grief, yea, my soul and my body.

10. For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are wasted away.

11. Because of all mine adversaries I am become a reproach, yea, unto my neighbours exceedingly, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without 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 defaming of many, terror on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.

14. But I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.
