Psalm 31

Good News Translation GNT

1 I come to you, Lord, for protection; never let me be defeated. You are a righteous God; save me, I pray!

2 Hear me! Save me now! Be my refuge to protect me; my defense to save me.

3 You are my refuge and defense; guide me and lead me as you have promised.

4 Keep me safe from the trap that has been set for me; shelter me from danger.

5 I place myself in your care. You will save me, Lord; you are a faithful God.

6 You hate those who worship false gods, but I trust in you.

7 I will be glad and rejoice because of your constant love. You see my suffering; you know my trouble.

8 You have not let my enemies capture me; you have given me freedom to go where I wish.

9 Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am in trouble; my eyes are tired from so much crying; I am completely worn out.

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.

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.

12 Everyone has forgotten me, as though I were dead; I am like something thrown away.

13 I hear many enemies whispering; terror is all around me. They are making plans against me, plotting to kill me.

14 But my trust is in you, O Lord; you are my God.

15 I am always in your care; save me from my enemies, from those who persecute me.

16 Look on your servant with kindness; save me in your constant love.

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.

18 Silence those liars - all the proud and arrogant who speak with contempt about the righteous.

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.

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.

21 Praise the Lord! How wonderfully he showed his love for me when I was surrounded and attacked!

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.

23 Love the Lord, all his faithful people. The Lord protects the faithful, but punishes the proud as they deserve.

24 Be strong, be courageous, all you that hope in the Lord.

Revised Standard Version RSV

1 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. In thee, O LORD, do I seek refuge; let me never be put to shame; in thy righteousness deliver me!

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

3 Yea, thou art my rock and my fortress; for thy name's sake lead me and guide me,

4 take me out of the net which is hidden for me, for thou art my refuge.

5 Into thy hand I commit my spirit; thou hast redeemed me, O LORD, faithful God.

6 Thou hatest those who pay regard to vain idols; but I trust in the LORD.

7 I will rejoice and be glad for thy steadfast love, because thou hast seen my affliction, thou hast taken heed of my adversities,

8 and hast not delivered me into the hand of the enemy; thou hast 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 misery, and my bones waste away.

11 I am the scorn of all my adversaries, a horror to my neighbors, an object of dread to my acquaintances; those who see me in the street flee from me.

12 I have passed out of mind like one who is dead; I have become like a broken vessel.

13 Yea, 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 thee, O LORD, I say, "Thou art my God."

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

16 Let thy face shine on thy servant; save me in thy steadfast love!

17 Let me not be put to shame, O LORD, for I call on thee; let the wicked be put to shame, let them go dumbfounded to Sheol.

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

19 O how abundant is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for those who fear thee, and wrought for those who take refuge in thee, in the sight of the sons of men!

20 In the covert of thy presence thou hidest them from the plots of men; thou holdest them safe under thy shelter from the strife of tongues.

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

22 I had said in my alarm, "I am driven far from thy sight." But thou didst hear my supplications, when I cried to thee for help.

23 Love the LORD, all you his saints! The LORD preserves the faithful, but abundantly requites him who acts haughtily.

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