Psalm 31 A2b3b4b RFS

In thee, O Lord, I put my trust; Let me, O Lord, Never be ashamed: Deliver me, Lord, In thy righteousness. To me, O Lord, Bow down thine ear! For me, O Lord, Be thou my strong rock! Save me, O Lord, Be a house of defense, Speedily, O Lord, Deliver me! Save me! For thou art my rock! And thou art my fortress! For thy name’s sake! Lead me, and guide me, and walk beside me, yes! Please! O, please! Pull me out of the net, The net secretly set for me: Thou art my strength yet! Into thine hand, I commend my spirit! Into thine hand, I return the breath you lent me. Thou hast redeemed me! O Lord God of truth! I have hated them that regard lying vanities: But I trust in the Lord. I will be glad in thy mercy: And rejoice! for... My trouble hast thou considered, My soul thou hast known in adversity. You kept me free from my enemy’s hand, you did! And in this large room, thou hast set my feet! Despite it all, despite it all, Have mercy upon me, O, Lord. I’m in trouble! I am in trouble! Have mercy upon me O, Lord. My eye is consumed with grief, Yes, my soul and also my belly. For my life is spent mostly in grief, For my years I spend sighing: For my strength fails because of my iniquity, And my bones be consumed with that sting. I was a reproach among all mine enemies, Especially to all of my neighbors. My presence was fearful wherever I be, If I’m coming, they fled from me out from their doors! Like I’m already dead and forgotten, Out of mind, completely. Like a vessel that broke along the bottom, I’m no longer useful; neither heard nor seen! 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. But... I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God. The Lord my God is one Lord, And I shall love the Lord my God, With all my heart! And with all my soul! And with all my might! Though my time draws near, my times are in Thy hand! Deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, Yes, my time may be at hand, but my time is in Thy hand! Spare me the hand that persecutes me! Make thy face shine on me, Thy broken servant I be! Save me for thy mercies’ — — silent in the grave. Let lying lips be silenced, That speak grievous things, unbalanced, Proudly they speak to the righteous, Twisted words so contemptuous! How great, O Lord, thy goodness! Before the children women have brought forth! Which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, yes, For those that trust in thy words! And let them be silent in the grave! Let lying lips be silenced, That speak grievous things, unbalanced, Proudly they speak to the righteous, Twisted words so contemptuous! How great, O Lord, thy goodness! Before the children women have brought forth! Which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, yes, For those that trust in thy words! And let them be silent in the grave! Let lying lips be silenced, That speak grievous things, unbalanced, Proudly they speak to the righteous, Twisted words so contemptuous! How great, O Lord, thy goodness! Before the children women have brought forth! Which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, yes, For those that trust in thy words! Thou shalt hide them from the pride of man, Sheltered in the secret of thy presence: Thou shalt keep them in a secret pavilion, From the strife of what tongues here have said. Blessed be the Lord, for he hath shown me, His marvellous kindness in His strong city. For I said in my haste, I’m cut off from thine eyes: But when I cry for thy grace, My supplication, you hear it rise! Listen, O saints! And love the Lord! Listen, O saints, (Shema, Shema...) For the Lord — —all those who so do. So... So, be of good courage, all of you! He shall strengthen your heart. Trust still in his kindness, his wisdom, his view! Hope in the Lord, whoever you are! Listen, O saints! And love the Lord! Listen, O saints, (Shema, Shema...) For... The Lord preserves the faithful, The Lord rewards all those who so do. So... So, be of good courage, all of you! He shall strengthen your heart. Trust still in his kindness, his wisdom, his view! Hope in the Lord, whoever you are! Listen, O saints! And love the Lord! Listen, O saints, (Shema, Shema...) For... The Lord preserves the faithful, The Lord rewards all those who so do. So... So, be of good courage, all of you! He shall strengthen your heart. Trust still in his kindness, his wisdom, his view! Hope in the Lord, whoever you are! And love the Lord! Listen, O saints, (Shema, Shema...) For... The Lord preserves the faithful, The Lord rewards all those who so do. So... So, be of good courage, all of you! He shall strengthen your heart. Trust still in his kindness, his wisdom, his view! Hope in the Lord, whoever you are!
