1(31) For the end, a Psalm of David, [an utterance] of extreme fear. O Lord, I have hoped in you; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in your righteousness and rescue me.
1I will extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2Incline your ear to me; make haste to rescue me: be you to me for a protecting God, and for a house of refuge to save me.
2O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
3For you are my strength and my refuge; and you shall guide me for your name's sake, and maintain me.
3O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4You shall bring me out of the snare which they have hidden for me; for you, O Lord, are my defender.
4Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
5Into your hands I will commit my spirit: you have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
5For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
6You have hated them that idly persist in vanities: but I have hoped in the Lord.
6And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
7I will exult and be glad in your mercy: for you have looked upon my affliction; you have saved my soul from distresses.
7Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
8And you have not shut me up into the hands of the enemy: you have set my feet in a wide place.
8I cried to thee, O Lord; and unto the Lord I made supplication.
9Pity me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with indignation, my soul and by belly.
9What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
10For my life is spent with grief, and my years with groanings: my strength has been weakened through poverty, and my bones are troubled.
10Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me: Lord, be thou my helper.
11I became a reproach among all my enemies, but exceedingly so to my neighbors, and a fear to my acquaintance: they that saw me without fled from me.
11Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
12I have been forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am become as a broken vessel.
12To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
