Psalm 31

Common English Bible CEB

1 I take refuge in you, LORD. Please never let me be put to shame. Rescue me by your righteousness!

2 Listen closely to me! Deliver me quickly; be a rock that protects me; be a strong fortress that saves me!

3 You are definitely my rock and my fortress. Guide me and lead me for the sake of your good name!

4 Get me out of this net that's been set for me because you are my protective fortress.

5 I entrust my spirit into your hands; you, LORD, God of faithfulness— you have saved me.

6 I hate those who embrace what is completely worthless. I myself trust the LORD.

7 I rejoice and celebrate in your faithful love because you saw my suffering— you were intimately acquainted with my deep distress.

8 You didn't hand me over to the enemy, but set my feet in wide-open spaces.

9 Have mercy on me, LORD, because I'm depressed. My vision fails because of my grief, as do my spirit and my body.

10 My life is consumed with sadness; my years are consumed with groaning. Strength fails me because of my suffering; my bones dry up.

11 I'm a joke to all my enemies, still worse to my neighbors. I scare my friends, and whoever sees me in the street runs away!

12 I am forgotten, like I'm dead, completely out of mind; I am like a piece of pottery, destroyed.

13 Yes, I've heard all the gossiping, terror all around; so many gang up together against me, they plan to take my life!

14 But me? I trust you, LORD! I affirm, "You are my God."

15 My future is in your hands. Don't hand me over to my enemies, to all who are out to get me!

16 Shine your face on your servant; save me by your faithful love!

17 LORD, don't let me be put to shame because I have cried out to you. Let the wicked be put to shame; let them be silenced in death's domain!

18 Let their lying lips be shut up whenever they speak arrogantly against the righteous with pride and contempt!

19 How great is the goodness that you've reserved for those who honor you, that you commit to those who take refuge in you— in the sight of everyone!

20 You hide them in the shelter of your wings, safe from human scheming. You conceal them in a shelter, safe from accusing tongues.

21 Bless the LORD, because he has wondrously revealed his faithful love to me when I was like a city under siege!

22 When I was panicked, I said, "I'm cut off from your eyes!" But you heard my request for mercy when I cried out to you for help.

23 All you who are faithful, love the LORD! The LORD protects those who are loyal, but he pays the proud back to the fullest degree.

24 All you who wait for the LORD, be strong and let your heart take courage.

English Standard Version ESV

1 In you, O Lord, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me!

2 Incline your ear to me; rescue me speedily! Be a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me!

3 For you are my rock and my fortress; and for your name’s sake you lead me and guide me;

4 you take me out of the net they have hidden for me, for you are my refuge.

5 Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God.

6 I hate those who pay regard to worthless idols, but I trust in the Lord.

7 I will rejoice and be glad in your steadfast love, because you have seen my affliction; you have known the distress of my soul,

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 Lord, for I am in distress; my eye is wasted from grief; my soul and my body also.

10 For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones waste away.

11 Because of all my adversaries I have become a reproach, especially to my neighbors, and an object of dread to my acquaintances; those who see me in the street flee from me.

12 I have been forgotten like one who is dead; I have become like a broken vessel.

13 For I hear the whispering of many—terror on every side! — as they scheme together against me, as they plot to take my life.

14 But I trust in you, O Lord; I say, “You are my God. ”

15 My times are in your hand; rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my persecutors!

16 Make your face shine on your servant; save me in your steadfast love!

17 O Lord, let me not be put to shame, for I call upon you; let the wicked be put to shame; let them go silently to Sheol.

18 Let the lying lips be mute, which speak insolently against the righteous in pride and contempt.

19 Oh, how abundant is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you and worked for those who take refuge in you, in the sight of the children of mankind!

20 In the cover of your presence you hide them from the plots of men; you store them in your shelter from the strife of tongues.

21 Blessed be the Lord, for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me when I was in a besieged city.

22 I had said in my alarm, “I am cut off from your sight. ”But you heard the voice of my pleas for mercy when I cried to you for help.

23 Love the Lord, all you his saints! The Lord preserves the faithful but abundantly repays the one who acts in pride.

24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord!
