Psalm 31 :: Brenton's English Septuagint (BES)

Psa 31:1

Psa 31:1(LXX 30:1) For the end, a Psalm of David, an utterance of [fn]extreme fear. (30:2) O Lord, I have hoped in thee; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness and rescue me.

Psa 31:2

Psa 31:2(LXX 30:3) Incline thine ear to me; make haste to rescue me: be thou to me for a protecting God, and for a house of refuge to save me.

Psa 31:3

Psa 31:3(LXX 30:4) For thou art my strength and my refuge; and thou shalt guide me for thy name's sake, and maintain me.

Psa 31:4

Psa 31:4(LXX 30:5) Thou shalt bring me out of the snare which they have hidden for me; for thou, O Lord, art my defender.

Psa 31:5

Psa 31:5(LXX 30:6) Into thine hands I will commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.

Psa 31:6

Psa 31:6(LXX 30:7) Thou hast hated them that idly persist in vanities: but I have hoped in the Lord.

Psa 31:7

Psa 31:7(LXX 30:8) I will exult and be glad in thy mercy: for thou hast looked upon mine affliction; thou hast saved my soul from distresses.

Psa 31:8

Psa 31:8(LXX 30:9) And thou hast not shut me up into the hands of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a wide place.

Psa 31:9

Psa 31:9(LXX 30:10) Pity me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with indignation, my soul and my belly.

Psa 31:10

Psa 31:10(LXX 30:11) For my life is spent with grief, and my years with groanings: my strength has been weakened through poverty, and my bones are troubled.

Psa 31:11

Psa 31:11(LXX 30:12) I became a reproach among all mine enemies, but exceedingly so to my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that saw me without fled from me.

Psa 31:12

Psa 31:12(LXX 30:13) I have been forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am become as a broken vessel.

Psa 31:13

Psa 31:13(LXX 30:14) For I heard the slander of many that dwelt round about: when they were gathered together against me, they took counsel to take my life.

Psa 31:14

Psa 31:14(LXX 30:15) But I hoped in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.

Psa 31:15

Psa 31:15(LXX 30:16) My lots are in thy hands: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies,

Psa 31:16

Psa 31:16(LXX 30:17) and from them that persecute me. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me in thy mercy.

Psa 31:17

Psa 31:17(LXX 30:18) O Lord, let me not be ashamed, for I have called upon thee: let the ungodly be ashamed, and brought down to Hades.

Psa 31:18

Psa 31:18(LXX 30:19) Let the deceitful lips become dumb, which speak iniquity against the righteous with pride and scorn.

Psa 31:19

Psa 31:19(LXX 30:20) How abundant is the multitude of thy goodness, O Lord, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee! thou hast wrought it out for them that hope on thee, in the presence of the sons of men.

Psa 31:20

Psa 31:20(LXX 30:21) Thou wilt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the vexation of man: thou wilt screen them in a tabernacle from the contradiction of tongues.

Psa 31:21

Psa 31:21(LXX 30:22) Blessed be the Lord: for he has magnified his mercy in a fortified city.

Psa 31:22

Psa 31:22(LXX 30:23) But I said in my extreme fear, I am cast out from the sight of thine eyes: therefore thou didst hearken, O Lord, to the voice of my supplication when I cried to thee.

Psa 31:23

Psa 31:23(LXX 30:24) Love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord seeks for truth, and renders a reward to them that deal very proudly.

Psa 31:24

Psa 31:24(LXX 30:25) Be of good courage, and let your heart be strengthened, all ye that hope in the Lord.
