Psalm 31 (You Are My Refuge)

In You, O LORD, I take refuge

Don’t let me be put to shame for trusting You

Do what’s righteous and deliver me

Incline Your ear to me

And quickly come rescue me

Be a mighty rock that guards me

A fortress where I’m safe

For You are my rock and my fortress

For the sake of Your name You’ll lead me and You’ll guide me

You’ll take me out of the net my enemies have hidden for me

For You are my refuge

O, You are my refuge

Into Your hand I commit my spirit

You have redeemed me, O Yahweh, God of truth

I hate those who trust in idols

But I have placed my hope in You, LORD

I will rejoice, I’ll be happy in Your love

Because You have seen my pain

And You, Lord, have known the anguish of my soul

And You will not deliver me into the hand of the enemy

No, You will set my feet in a wide and peaceful place

For You are my refuge

O, You are my refuge

Be merciful to me, O LORD

This pain is killing me

I cry until my eyes are spent

My soul and body ache with grief

My life is consumed by anguish

And my years with groaning

My strength is gone because of all my sin

And my bones waste away

Because of all my enemies, my name has been disgraced

My friends and neighbors turn from me, they shun me in the streets

I’m forgotten like someone who’s died

A shattered piece of clay

While I hear the whispers all around

Of violence planned for me

All around they gather

As they plot to take my life

But I trust in You, O LORD, and I say, “You are my God”

All my times are in Your hand

Rescue me from all my enemies

LORD, make Your face to shine upon me

Deliver me in Your never-ending love

Don’t let me be put to shame

For I call on You

Let the wicked be put to shame

Let them go down silently into the pit

Let the lying lips be mute which speak against the righteous with angry pride

Let the lying lips be mute which speak against the righteous with angry pride

Let the lying lips be mute which speak against the righteous with angry pride

O, how abundant is Your goodness You store up for those who fear You

That You work for those who trust You in the sight of the children of mankind

In the cover of Your presence, You hide them from the plots of men

You shield them in Your shelter from the war of violent tongues

O, blessed be the LORD

For He has shown His love so wondrously to me

When I was under siege, I said in my fear, “I’m cut off from Your sight”

But You heard my plea for mercy when I cried to You for help

O, love the LORD

All you his saints

For the Lord preserves the faithful

But abundantly repays the one who acts in pride

Be strong, let your heart be valiant, all you that wait upon the LORD

Be strong, let your heart be valiant, all you that wait upon the LORD

Be strong, let your heart be valiant, all you that wait upon the LORD

Be strong, let your heart be valiant, all you that wait upon the LORD
