Psalm 31:1–10

1  aIn thee, O Lord, do I put my trust;

aLet me never be ashamed:

bDeliver me in thy righteousness.

2  cBow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily:

Be thou †my strong rock,

For an house of ddefence to save me.

3  dFor thou art my rock and my fortress;

Therefore efor thy name’s sake flead me, and gguide me.

4  hPull me out of the inet that they have laid privily for me:

For iithou art my strength.

5  jInto thine hand I commit my spirit:

Thou hast redeemed me, O Lord kGod of truth.

6  lI have hated them that mregard lying vanities:

But nI trust in the Lord.

7  I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy:

For thou hast considered my trouble;

Thou hast oknown my soul in adversities;

8  And hast not pshut me up into the hand of the enemy:

Thou hast set my feet qin a large room.

9  rHave mercy upon me, O Lord, for rrI am in trouble:

sMine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.

10  For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing:

My strength faileth because of mine tiniquity, and umy bones are consumed.
