\c 31
|
||
\d For the chief musician. A psalm of David.
|
||
\b
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 1 In you, Yahweh, I take refuge;
|
||
\q never let me be humiliated.
|
||
\q Rescue me in your righteousness.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 2 Listen to me; rescue me quickly;
|
||
\q be my rock of refuge,
|
||
\q a stronghold to save me.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 3 For you are my rock and my fortress;
|
||
\q therefore for your name’s sake, lead and guide me.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 4 Pluck me out of the net that they have hidden for me,
|
||
\q for you are my refuge.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 5 Into your hands I entrust my spirit;
|
||
\q you will redeem me, Yahweh, God of trustworthiness.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 6 I hate those who serve worthless idols,
|
||
\q but I trust in Yahweh.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 7 I will be glad and rejoice in your covenant faithfulness,
|
||
\q for you saw my affliction;
|
||
\q you knew the distress of my soul.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 8 You have not handed me over to my enemy.
|
||
\q You have set my feet in a wide open place.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 9 Have mercy upon me, Yahweh, for I am in distress;
|
||
\q my eyes grow weary with grief with my soul and my body.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 10 For my life is weary with sorrow
|
||
\q and my years with groaning.
|
||
\q My strength fails because of my sin,
|
||
\q and my bones are wasting away.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 11 Because of all my enemies, people disdain me;
|
||
\q my neighbors are appalled at my situation,
|
||
\q and those who know me are horrified.
|
||
\q Those who see me in the street run from me.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 12 I am forgotten as a dead man whom no one thinks about.
|
||
\q I am like a broken pot.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 13 For I have heard the whispering of many,
|
||
\q terrifying news from every side
|
||
\q as they plot together against me.
|
||
\q They plot to take away my life.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 14 But I trust in you, Yahweh;
|
||
\q I say, "You are my God."
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 15 My destiny is in your hand.
|
||
\q Rescue me from the hands of my enemies and from those who pursue me.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 16 Make your face shine on your servant;
|
||
\q save me in your covenant faithfulness.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 17 Do not let me be humiliated, Yahweh; for I call out to you!
|
||
\q May the wicked be humiliated! May they be silent in sheol.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 18 May lying lips be silenced
|
||
\q that speak against the righteous defiantly
|
||
\q with arrogance and contempt.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 19 How great is your goodness
|
||
\q that you have stored up for those who revere you,
|
||
\q that you perform for those who take refuge in you
|
||
\q before all humanity!
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 20 In the shelter of your presence, you hide them from the plots of men.
|
||
\q You hide them in a shelter from the violence of tongues.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 21 Blessed be Yahweh,
|
||
\q for he showed me his marvelous covenant faithfulness when I was in a beseiged city.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 22 Though I said in my haste,
|
||
\q "I am cut off from your eyes,"
|
||
\q yet you heard my plea for help
|
||
\q when I cried to you.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 23 Oh, love Yahweh, all you faithful followers.
|
||
\q Yahweh protects the faithful,
|
||
\q but he pays back the arrogant in full.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 24 Be strong and confident,
|
||
\q all you who trust in Yahweh for help.
