Youngs Literal Translation |
|
| 31:1 | In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness. | To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age, In Thy righteousness deliver me. |
| 31:2 | Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou |
Incline unto me Thine ear hastily, deliver me, Be to me for a strong rock, For a house of bulwarks to save me. |
| 31:3 | For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me. | For my rock and my bulwark `art' Thou, For Thy name's sake lead me and tend me. |
| 31:4 | Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength. | Bring me out from the net that they hid for me, For Thou `art' my strength. |
| 31:5 | Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth. | Into Thy hand I commit my spirit, Thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah God of truth. |
| 31:6 | I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD. | I have hated the observers of lying vanities, And I toward Jehovah have been confident. |
| 31:7 | I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities; | I rejoice, and am glad in Thy kindness, In that Thou hast seen mine affliction, Thou hast known in adversities my soul. |
| 31:8 | And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room. | And Thou hast not shut me up, Into the hand of an enemy, Thou hast caused my feet to stand in a broad place. |
| 31:9 | Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly. | Favour me, O Jehovah, for distress `is' to me, Mine eye, my soul, and my body Have become old by provocation. |
| 31:10 | For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed. | For my life hath been consumed in sorrow And my years in sighing. Feeble because of mine iniquity hath been my strength, And my bones have become old. |
| 31:11 | 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. | Among all mine adversaries I have been a reproach, And to my neighbours exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintances, Those seeing me without -- fled from me. |
| 31:12 | I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like |
I have been forgotten as dead out of mind, I have been as a perishing vessel. |
| 31:13 | For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life. | For I have heard an evil account of many, Fear `is' round about. In their being united against me, To take my life they have devised, |
| 31:14 | But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God. | And I on Thee -- I have trusted, O Jehovah, I have said, `Thou `art' my God.' |
| 31:15 | My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me. | In Thy hand `are' my times, Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from my pursuers. |
| 31:16 | Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake. | Cause Thy face to shine on Thy servant, Save me in Thy kindness. |
| 31:17 | Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and |
O Jehovah, let me not be ashamed, For I have called Thee, let the wicked be ashamed, Let them become silent to Sheol. |
| 31:18 | Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak |
Let lips of falsehood become dumb, That are speaking against the righteous, Ancient sayings, in pride and contempt. |
| 31:19 | Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men! | How abundant is Thy goodness, That Thou hast laid up for those fearing Thee, |
| 31:20 | Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. | Thou hast wrought for those trusting in Thee, Before sons of men. Thou hidest them in the secret place of Thy presence, From artifices of man, Thou concealest them in a tabernacle, From the strife of tongues. |
| 31:21 | Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a |
Blessed `is' Jehovah, For He hath made marvellous His kindness To me in a city of bulwarks. |
| 31:22 | For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee. | And I -- I have said in my haste, `I have been cut off from before Thine eyes,' But Thou hast heard the voice of my supplications, In my crying unto Thee. |
| 31:23 | O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer. | Love Jehovah, all ye His saints, Jehovah is keeping the faithful, And recompensing abundantly a proud doer. |
| 31:24 | Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD. | Be strong, and He strengtheneth your heart, All ye who are waiting for Jehovah! |
