Psalms 31
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. In you, Yahweh, I take refuge. Let me never be disappointed. Deliver me in your righteousness.
in finem psalmus David in te Domine speravi non confundar in aeternum in iustitia tua libera me
2 Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense to save me.
inclina ad me aurem tuam adcelera ut eruas me esto mihi in Deum protectorem et in domum refugii ut salvum me facias
3 For you are my rock and my fortress, therefore for your name’s sake lead me and guide me.
quoniam fortitudo mea et refugium meum es tu et propter nomen tuum deduces me et enutries me
4 Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, for you are my stronghold.
educes me de laqueo hoc quem absconderunt mihi quoniam tu es protector meus
5 Into your hand I commend my spirit. You redeem me, Yahweh, God of truth.
in manus tuas commendabo spiritum meum redemisti me Domine Deus veritatis
6 I hate those who regard lying vanities, but I trust in Yahweh.
odisti observantes vanitates supervacue ego autem in Domino speravi
7 I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness, for you have seen my affliction. You have known my soul in adversities.
exultabo et laetabor in misericordia tua quoniam respexisti humilitatem meam salvasti de necessitatibus animam meam
8 You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy. You have set my feet in a large place.
nec conclusisti me in manibus inimici statuisti in loco spatioso pedes meos
9 Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am in distress. My eye, my soul, and my body waste away with grief.
miserere mei Domine quoniam tribulor conturbatus est in ira oculus meus anima mea et venter meus
10 For my life is spent with sorrow, my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my iniquity. My bones are wasted away.
quoniam defecit in dolore vita mea et anni mei in gemitibus infirmata est in paupertate virtus mea et ossa mea conturbata sunt
11 Because of all my adversaries I have become utterly contemptible to my neighbors, a horror to my acquaintances. Those who saw me on the street fled from me.
super omnes inimicos meos factus sum obprobrium et vicinis meis valde et timor notis meis qui videbant me foras fugerunt a me
12 I am forgotten from their hearts like a dead man. I am like broken pottery.
oblivioni datus sum tamquam mortuus a corde factus sum tamquam vas perditum
13 For I have heard the slander of many, terror on every side, while they conspire together against me, they plot to take away my life.
quoniam audivi vituperationem multorum commorantium in circuitu in eo dum convenirent simul adversus me accipere animam meam consiliati sunt
14 But I trust in you, Yahweh. I said, “You are my God.”
ego autem in te speravi Domine dixi Deus meus es tu
15 My times are in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.
in manibus tuis sortes meae eripe me de manu inimicorum meorum et a persequentibus me
16 Make your face to shine on your servant. Save me in your loving kindness.
inlustra faciem tuam super servum tuum salvum me fac in misericordia tua
17 Let me not be disappointed, Yahweh, for I have called on you. Let the wicked be disappointed. Let them be silent in Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Domine ne confundar quoniam invocavi te erubescant impii et deducantur in infernum (Sheol h7585)
18 Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.
muta fiant labia dolosa quae loquuntur adversus iustum iniquitatem in superbia et in abusione
19 Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the sons of men!
quam magna multitudo dulcedinis tuae Domine quam abscondisti timentibus te perfecisti eis qui sperant in te in conspectu filiorum hominum
20 In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.
abscondes eos in abdito faciei tuae a conturbatione hominum proteges eos in tabernaculo a contradictione linguarum
21 Praise be to Yahweh, for he has shown me his marvelous loving kindness in a strong city.
benedictus Dominus quoniam mirificavit misericordiam suam mihi in civitate munita
22 As for me, I said in my haste, “I am cut off from before your eyes.” Nevertheless you heard the voice of my petitions when I cried to you.
ego autem dixi in excessu mentis meae proiectus sum a facie oculorum tuorum ideo exaudisti vocem orationis meae dum clamarem ad te
23 Oh love Yahweh, all you his saints! Yahweh preserves the faithful, and fully recompenses him who behaves arrogantly.
diligite Dominum omnes sancti eius quoniam veritates requirit Dominus et retribuit abundanter facientibus superbiam
24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in Yahweh.
viriliter agite et confortetur cor vestrum omnes qui speratis in Domino
