The King James Version Bible

Psalms 31:1-11

  1. In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.

  2. Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.

  3. For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.

  4. Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.

  5. Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.

  6. I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.

  7. I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;

  8. And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.

  9. Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine 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 iniquity, and my bones are consumed.

  11. I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.
