31:1 I come to you, LORD, for protection; never
let me be defeated. You are a righteous God; save me, I pray! |
31:2 Hear me! Save me now! Be my refuge to protect
me; my defense to save me. |
31:3 You are my refuge and defense;
guide me and lead me as you have promised. |
31:4 Keep me safe from the trap that has been set
for me; shelter me from danger. |
31:5 I place myself in your care. You will save
me, LORD; you are a faithful God. |
31:6 You hate those who worship false gods, but I
trust in you. |
31:7 I will be glad and rejoice because of your
constant love. You see my suffering; you know my trouble. |
31:8 You have not let my enemies capture me; you
have given me freedom to go where I wish. |
31:9 Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am in trouble;
my eyes are tired from so much crying; I am completely worn out. |
31:10 I am exhausted by sorrow, and weeping has
shortened my life. I am weak from all my troubles; even my bones are wasting
away. |
31:11 All my enemies, and especially my neighbors, treat me with contempt. Those who know me are
afraid of me; when they see me in the street, they run away. |
31:12 Everyone has forgotten me, as though I were
dead; I am like something thrown away. |
31:13 I hear many enemies whispering; terror is all
around me. They are making plans against me, plotting to kill me. |
31:14 But my trust is in you, O LORD; you are my
God. |
31:15 I am always in your care; save me from my
enemies, from those who persecute me. |
31:16 Look on your servant with kindness; save me
in your constant love. |
31:17 I call to you, LORD; don't let me be
disgraced. May the wicked be disgraced; may they go silently down to the
world of the dead. |
31:18 Silence those liars--- all the proud and
arrogant who speak with contempt about the righteous. |
31:19 How wonderful are the good things you keep
for those who honor you! Everyone knows how good
you are, how securely you protect those who trust you. |
31:20 You hide them in the safety of your presence
from the plots of others; in a safe shelter you hide them from the insults of
their enemies. |
31:21 Praise the LORD! How wonderfully he showed
his love for me when I was surrounded and attacked! |
31:22 I was afraid and thought that he had driven
me out of his presence. But he heard my cry, when I called to him for help. |
31:23 Love the LORD, all his faithful people. The
LORD protects the faithful, but punishes the proud as they deserve. |
31:24 Be strong, be courageous, all you that hope
in the LORD. |
