PSAL. XXXI.

[1]

In thee, O Lord, I put my trust,

sham'd let me never be:
According to thy righteousnesse,
do thou deliver me.

2

Bow down thine ear to me, with speed

send me deliverance;
To save me, my strong rock be thou,
and my house of defence.

3

Because thou art my rock, and thee

I for my fortresse take;
Therefore do thou me lead and guide,
ev'n for thine own Names sake.

4

And sith thou art my strength, therefore

pull me out of the net,
Which they in subtiltie for me
so privily have set.

5

Into thine hands, I do commit

my sp'rit: for thou art he,
O thou Jehovah, God of truth,
that hast redeemed me.

6

Those that do lying vanities

regard, I have abhorr'd:
But as for me, my confidence
is fixed on the Lord.

7

I'le in thy mercy gladly joy:

for thou, my miseries
Considered hast; thou hast my soul
known in adversities;

8

And thou hast not inclosed me

within the enemies hand;
And by thee have my feet been made
in a large room to stand.

9

O Lord, upon me mercy have,

for trouble is on me;
Mine eye, my belly, and my soul
with grief consumed be.

10

Because my life with grief is spent,

my years with sighs and grones:
My strength doth fail; and for my sin
consumed are my bones.

11

I was a scorn to all my foes,

and to my friends a fear:
And specially reproacht of those
that were my neighbours near
When they me saw, they from me fled

12

Ev'n so, I am forgot,

As men are out of minde, when dead:
I'm like a broken pot.

13

For slanders I of many hear'd,

fear compast me, while they
Against me did consult and plot,
to take my life away.

14

But as for me, O Lord my trust,

upon thee I did lay:
And I to thee, thou art my God,
did confidently say.

15

My times are wholly in thine hand:

do thou deliver me
From their hands, that mine enemies
and persecuters be.

16

Thy countenance to shine, do thou

upon thy servant make:
Unto me give salvation,
for thy great mercies sake.

17

Let me not be asham'd, O Lord,

for on thee call'd I have:
Let wicked men be asham'd, let them
be silent in the grave.

18

To silence put the lying lips:

that grievous things do say,
And hard reports, in pride and scorn,
on righteous men do lay.

19

How great's the goodnes thou for thē

that fear thee keepst in store;
And wroughtst for thē that trust in the
the sons of men before!

20

In secret of thy presence, thou

shalt hide them from mans pride
Frō strife of tongus, thou closely shalt
as in a tent, them hide.

21

All praise & thanks be to the Lord;

for he hath magnify'd
His wondrous love to me, within
a city fortify'd.

22

For from thine eyes cut off I am,

(I in my haste had said)
My voice yet heardst thou, when to thee
with cryes, my moan I made.


23

O love the Lord, all ye his saints:

because the Lord doth guard
The faithfull, and he plenteously
proud doers doth reward.

24

Be of good courage, and he strength

unto your heart shall send,
All ye whose hope and confidence
doth on the Lord depend.
