Psalm 31

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 For the leader. A psalm of David: In you, ADONAI, I take refuge; let me never be put to shame; in your justice, save me!

2 Turn your ear toward me, come quickly to my rescue, be for me a rock of strength, a fortress to keep me safe.

3 Since you are my rock and fortress, lead me and guide me for your name's sake.

4 Free me from the net they have hidden to catch me, because you are my strength.

5 Into your hand I commit my spirit; you will redeem me, ADONAI, God of truth.

6 I hate those who serve worthless idols; as for me, I trust in ADONAI.

7 I will rejoice and be glad in your grace, for you see my affliction, you know how distressed I am.

8 You did not hand me over to the enemy; you set my feet where I can move freely.

9 Show me favor, ADONAI, for I am in trouble. My eyes grow dim with anger, my soul and body as well.

10 For my life is worn out with sorrow and my years with sighing; my strength gives out under my guilt, and my bones are wasting away.

11 I am scorned by all my adversaries, and even more by my neighbors; even to acquaintances I am an object of fear when they see me in the street, they turn away from me.

12 Like a dead man, I have passed from their minds; I have become like a broken pot.

13 All I hear is whispering, terror is all around me; they plot together against me, scheming to take my life.

14 But I, I trust in you, ADONAI; I say, "You are my God."

15 My times are in your hand; rescue me from my enemies' power, from those who persecute me.

16 Make your face shine on your servant; in your grace, save me.

17 ADONAI, don't let me be put to shame, for I have called on you; let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silenced in Sh'ol.

18 May lying lips be struck dumb, that speak insolently against the righteous with such pride and contempt.

19 But oh, how great is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you, which you do for those who take refuge in you, before people's very eyes!

20 In the shelter of your presence you hide them from human plots, you conceal them in your shelter, safe from contentious tongues.

21 Blessed be ADONAI! For he has shown me his amazing grace when I was in a city under siege.

22 As for me, in my alarm I said, "I have been cut off from your sight!"Nevertheless, you heard my pleas when I cried out to you.

23 Love ADONAI, you faithful of his. ADONAI preserves the loyal, but the proud he repays in full.

24 Be strong, and fill your hearts with courage, all of you who hope in ADONAI.

New Living Translation NLT

1 O LORD, I have come to you for protection; don’t let me be disgraced. Save me, for you do what is right.

2 Turn your ear to listen to me; rescue me quickly. Be my rock of protection, a fortress where I will be safe.

3 You are my rock and my fortress. For the honor of your name, lead me out of this danger.

4 Pull me from the trap my enemies set for me, for I find protection in you alone.

5 I entrust my spirit into your hand. Rescue me, LORD, for you are a faithful God.

6 I hate those who worship worthless idols. I trust in the LORD .

7 I will be glad and rejoice in your unfailing love, for you have seen my troubles, and you care about the anguish of my soul.

8 You have not handed me over to my enemies but have set me in a safe place.

9 Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am in distress. Tears blur my eyes. My body and soul are withering away.

10 I am dying from grief; my years are shortened by sadness. Sin has drained my strength; I am wasting away from within.

11 I am scorned by all my enemies and despised by my neighbors— even my friends are afraid to come near me. When they see me on the street, they run the other way.

12 I am ignored as if I were dead, as if I were a broken pot.

13 I have heard the many rumors about me, and I am surrounded by terror. My enemies conspire against me, plotting to take my life.

14 But I am trusting you, O LORD, saying, “You are my God!”

15 My future is in your hands. Rescue me from those who hunt me down relentlessly.

16 Let your favor shine on your servant. In your unfailing love, rescue me.

17 Don’t let me be disgraced, O LORD, for I call out to you for help. Let the wicked be disgraced; let them lie silent in the grave.

18 Silence their lying lips— those proud and arrogant lips that accuse the godly.

19 How great is the goodness you have stored up for those who fear you. You lavish it on those who come to you for protection, blessing them before the watching world.

20 You hide them in the shelter of your presence, safe from those who conspire against them. You shelter them in your presence, far from accusing tongues.

21 Praise the LORD, for he has shown me the wonders of his unfailing love. He kept me safe when my city was under attack.

22 In panic I cried out, “I am cut off from the LORD !” But you heard my cry for mercy and answered my call for help.

23 Love the LORD, all you godly ones! For the LORD protects those who are loyal to him, but he harshly punishes the arrogant.

24 So be strong and courageous, all you who put your hope in the LORD !
