Psalm 31 :: New English Translation (NET)

A Psalm of Complaint and of Praise.

Psa 31:1

Psa 31:1In you, O LORD, I have taken shelter! Never let me be humiliated! Vindicate me by rescuing me!

Psa 31:2

Psa 31:2Listen to me! Quickly deliver me! Be my protector and refuge, a stronghold where I can be safe!

Psa 31:3

Psa 31:3For you are my high ridge and my stronghold; for the sake of your own reputation you lead me and guide me.

Psa 31:4

Psa 31:4You will free me from the net they hid for me, for you are my place of refuge.

Psa 31:5

Psa 31:5Into your hand I entrust my life; you will rescue me, O LORD, the faithful God.

Psa 31:6

Psa 31:6I hate those who serve worthless idols, but I trust in the LORD.

Psa 31:7

Psa 31:7I will be happy and rejoice in your faithfulness, because you notice my pain and you are aware of how distressed I am.

Psa 31:8

Psa 31:8You do not deliver me over to the power of the enemy; you enable me to stand in a wide open place.

Psa 31:9

Psa 31:9Have mercy on me, for I am in distress! My eyes grow dim from suffering. I have lost my strength.

Psa 31:10

Psa 31:10For my life nears its end in pain; my years draw to a close as I groan. My strength fails me because of my sin, and my bones become brittle.

Psa 31:11

Psa 31:11Because of all my enemies, people disdain me; my neighbors are appalled by my suffering - those who know me are horrified by my condition; those who see me in the street run away from me.

Psa 31:12

Psa 31:12I am forgotten, like a dead man no one thinks about; I am regarded as worthless, like a broken jar.

Psa 31:13

Psa 31:13For I hear what so many are saying, the terrifying news that comes from every direction. When they plot together against me, they figure out how they can take my life.

Psa 31:14

Psa 31:14But I trust in you, O LORD! I declare, "You are my God!"

Psa 31:15

Psa 31:15You determine my destiny! Rescue me from the power of my enemies and those who chase me.

Psa 31:16

Psa 31:16Smile on your servant! Deliver me because of your faithfulness!

Psa 31:17

Psa 31:17O LORD, do not let me be humiliated, for I call out to you! May evil men be humiliated! May they go wailing to the grave!

Psa 31:18

Psa 31:18May lying lips be silenced - lips that speak defiantly against the innocent with arrogance and contempt!

Psa 31:19

Psa 31:19How great is your favor, which you store up for your loyal followers! In plain sight of everyone you bestow it on those who take shelter in you.

Psa 31:20

Psa 31:20You hide them with you, where they are safe from the attacks of men; you conceal them in a shelter, where they are safe from slanderous attacks.

Psa 31:21

Psa 31:21The LORD deserves praise for he demonstrated his amazing faithfulness to me when I was besieged by enemies.

Psa 31:22

Psa 31:22I jumped to conclusions and said, "I am cut off from your presence!" But you heard my plea for mercy when I cried out to you for help.

Psa 31:23

Psa 31:23Love the LORD, all you faithful followers of his! The LORD protects those who have integrity, but he pays back in full the one who acts arrogantly.

Psa 31:24

Psa 31:24Be strong and confident, all you who wait on the LORD!
