Psalms 31
1
(30-1) <Unto the end, a psalm for David, in an ecstasy.> (30-2) In thee, O Lord, have I hoped, let me never be confounded: deliver me in thy justice.
2
(30-3) Bow down thy ear to me: make haste to deliver me. Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a house of refuge, to save me.
3
(30-4) For thou art my strength and my refuge; and for thy name’s sake thou wilt lead me, and nourish me.
4
(30-5) Thou wilt bring me out of this snare, which they have hidden for me: for thou art my protector.
5
(30-6) Into thy hands I commend my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth.
6
(30-7) Thou hast hated them that regard vanities, to no purpose. But I have hoped in the Lord:
7
(30-8) I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy. For thou hast regarded my humility, thou hast saved my soul out of distresses.
8
(30-9) And thou hast not shut me up in the hands of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a spacious place.
9
(30-10) Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with wrath, my soul, and my belly:
10
(30-11) For my life is wasted with grief: and my years in sighs. My strength is weakened through poverty and my bones are disturbed.
11
(30-12) I am become a reproach among all my enemies, and very much to my neighbours; and a fear to my acquaintance. They that saw me without fled from me.
12
(30-13) I am forgotten as one dead from the heart. I am become as a vessel that is destroyed.
13
(30-14) For I have heard the blame of many that dwell round about. While they assembled together against me, they consulted to take away my life.
14
(30-15) But I have put my trust in thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my God.
15
(30-16) My lots are in thy hands. Deliver me out of the hands of my enemies; and from them that persecute me.
16
(30-17) Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy mercy.
17
(30-18) Let me not be confounded, O Lord, for I have called upon thee. Let the wicked be ashamed, and be brought down to hell.
18
(30-19) Let deceitful lips be made dumb. Which speak iniquity against the just, with pride and abuse.
19
(30-20) O how great is the multitude of thy sweetness, O Lord, which thou hast hidden for them that fear thee! Which thou hast wrought for them that hope in thee, in the sight of the sons of men.
20
(30-21) Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy face, from the disturbance of men. Thou shalt protect them in thy tabernacle form the contradiction of tongues.
21
(30-22) Blessed be the Lord, for he hath shewn his wonderful mercy to me in a fortified city.
22
(30-23) But I said in the excess of my mind: I am cast away from before thy eyes. Therefore thou hast heard the voice of my prayer, when I cried to thee.
23
(30-24) O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord will require truth, and will repay them abundantly that act proudly.
24
(30-25) Do ye manfully, and let your heart be strengthened, all ye that hope in the Lord.

Psalms 32
1
(31-1) <To David himself, understanding.> Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
2
(31-2) Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3
(31-3) Because I was silent my bones grew old; whilst I cried out all the day long.
4
(31-4) For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I am turned in my anguish, whilst the thorn is fastened.
5
(31-5) I have acknowledged my sin to thee, and my injustice I have not concealed. I said I will confess against my self my injustice to the Lord: and thou hast forgiven the wickedness of my sin.
6
(31-6) For this shall every one that is holy pray to thee in a seasonable time. And yet in a flood of many waters, they shall not come nigh unto him.
7
(31-7) Thou art my refuge from the trouble which hath encompassed me: my joy, deliver me from them that surround me.
8
(31-8) I will give thee understanding, and I will instruct thee in this way, in which thou shalt go: I will fix my eyes upon thee.
9
(31-9) Do not become like the horse and the mule, who have no understanding. With bit and bridle bind fast their jaws, who come not near unto thee.
10
(31-10) Many are the scourges of the sinner, but mercy shall encompass him that hopeth in the Lord.
11
(31-11) Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye just, and glory, all ye right of heart.
