019:031:001
In thee,
O LORD,
do I put my trust;
let me never be ashamed:
deliver me in thy righteousness.

019:031:002
Bow down thine ear to me;
deliver me speedily:
be thou my strong rock,
for an house of defence to save me.

019:031:003
For thou art my rock and my fortress;
therefore for thy name's sake lead me,
and guide me.

019:031:004
Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me:
for thou art my strength.

019:031:005
Into thine hand I commit my spirit:
thou hast redeemed me,
O LORD God of truth.

019:031:006
I have hated them that regard lying vanities:
but I trust in the LORD.

019:031:007
I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy:
for thou hast considered my trouble;
thou hast known my soul in adversities;

019:031:008
And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy:
thou hast set my feet in a large room.

019:031:009
Have mercy upon me,
O LORD,
for I am in trouble:
mine eye is consumed with grief,
yea,
my soul and my belly.

019:031:010
For my life is spent with grief,
and my years with sighing:
my strength faileth because of mine iniquity,
and my bones are consumed.

019:031:011
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.

019:031:012
I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind:
I am like a broken vessel.

019:031:013
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.

019:031:014
But I trusted in thee,
O LORD:
I said,
Thou art my God.

019:031:015
My times are in thy hand:
deliver me from the hand of mine enemies,
and from them that persecute me.

019:031:016
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant:
save me for thy mercies' sake.

019:031:017
Let me not be ashamed,
O LORD;
for I have called upon thee:
let the wicked be ashamed,
and let them be silent in the grave.

019:031:018
Let the lying lips be put to silence;
which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

019:031:019
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!

019:031:020
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.

019:031:021
Blessed be the LORD:
for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.

019:031:022
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.

019:031:023
O love the LORD,
all ye his saints:
for the LORD preserveth the faithful,
and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.

019:031:024
Be of good courage,
and he shall strengthen your heart,
all ye that hope in the LORD.
