Psalm 31

New Century Version NCV

1 Lord, I trust in you; let me never be disgraced. Save me because you do what is right.

2 Listen to me and save me quickly. Be my rock of protection, a strong city to save me.

3 You are my rock and my protection. For the good of your name, lead me and guide me.

4 Set me free from the trap they set for me, because you are my protection.

5 I give you my life. Save me, Lord, God of truth.

6 I hate those who worship false gods. I trust only in the Lord.

7 I will be glad and rejoice in your love, because you saw my suffering; you knew my troubles.

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

9 Lord, have mercy, because I am in misery. My eyes are weak from so much crying, and my whole being is tired from grief.

10 My life is ending in sadness, and my years are spent in crying. My troubles are using up my strength, and my bones are getting weaker.

11 Because of all my troubles, my enemies hate me, and even my neighbors look down on me. When my friends see me, they are afraid and run.

12 I am like a piece of a broken pot. I am forgotten as if I were dead.

13 I have heard many insults. Terror is all around me. They make plans against me and want to kill me.

14 Lord, I trust you. I have said, "You are my God."

15 My life is in your hands. Save me from my enemies and from those who are chasing me.

16 Show your kindness to me, your servant. Save me because of your love.

17 Lord, I called to you, so do not let me be disgraced. Let the wicked be disgraced and lie silent in the grave.

18 With pride and hatred they speak against those who do right. So silence their lying lips.

19 How great is your goodness that you have stored up for those who fear you, that you have given to those who trust you. You do this for all to see.

20 You protect them by your presence from what people plan against them. You shelter them from evil words.

21 Praise the Lord. His love to me was wonderful when my city was attacked.

22 In my distress, I said, "God cannot see me!" But you heard my prayer when I cried out to you for help.

23 Love the Lord, all you who belong to him. The Lord protects those who truly believe, but he punishes the proud as much as they have sinned.

24 All you who put your hope in the Lord be strong and brave. A maskil of David.

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.
