LSV PSA Chapter 31

31 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. In You, O YHWH, I have trusted,
Do not let me be ashamed for all time,
In Your righteousness deliver me. 2 Incline Your ear to me quickly, deliver me,
Be to me for a strong rock,
For a house of bulwarks to save me. 3 For You [are] my rock and my bulwark,
For Your Name’s sake lead me and tend me. 4 Bring me out from the net that they hid for me,
For You [are] my strength. 5 Into Your hand I commit my spirit,
You have redeemed me, YHWH God of truth. 6 I have hated the observers of lying vanities,
And I have been confident toward YHWH. 7 I rejoice, and am glad in Your kindness,
In that You have seen my affliction,
You have known my soul in adversities. 8 And You have not shut me up,
Into the hand of an enemy,
You have caused my feet to stand in a broad place. 9 Favor me, O YHWH, for distress [is] to me,
My eye, my soul, and my body
Have become old by provocation. 10 For my life has been consumed in sorrow
And my years in sighing. My strength has been feeble because of my iniquity,
And my bones have become old. 11 I have been a reproach among all my adversaries,
And to my neighbors exceedingly,
And a fear to my acquaintances,
Those seeing me without—fled from me. 12 I have been forgotten as dead, out of mind,
I have been as a perishing vessel. 13 For I have heard an evil account of many,
Fear [is] all around. In their being united against me,
They have devised to take my life, 14 And I have trusted on You,
O YHWH, I have said, “You [are] my God.” 15 In Your hand [are] my times,
Deliver me from the hand of my enemies,
And from my pursuers. 16 Cause Your face to shine on Your servant,
Save me in Your kindness. 17 O YHWH, do not let me be ashamed,
For I have called You, let the wicked be ashamed,
Let them become silent to Sheol. 18 Let lips of falsehood become mute,
That are speaking against the righteous,
Ancient sayings, in pride and contempt. 19 How abundant is Your goodness,
That You have laid up for those fearing You,
You have worked for those trusting in You,
Before sons of men. 20 You hide them in the secret place of Your presence,
From schemes of man,
You conceal them in a dwelling place,
From the strife of tongues. 21 Blessed [is] YHWH,
For He has made His kindness marvelous
To me in a city of bulwarks. 22 And I have said in my haste, “I have been cut off from before Your eyes,”
But You have heard the voice of my supplications,
In my crying to You. 23 Love YHWH, all you His saints,
YHWH is keeping the faithful,
And repaying a proud doer abundantly. 24 Be strong, and He strengthens your heart,
All you who are waiting for YHWH!
