Psalm 31 — Psalms 31:4–11

Pluck me out of the net that they have laid privily for me;
For thou art my stronghold.

Into thy hand I commend my spirit:
Thou hast redeemed me, O Jehovah, thou God of truth.

I hate them that regard lying vanities;
But I trust in Jehovah.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy lovingkindness;
For thou hast seen my affliction:
Thou hast known my soul in adversities;

And thou hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy;
Thou hast set my feet in a large place.

Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah, for I am in distress:
Mine eye wasteth away with grief, yea, my soul and my body.

For my life is spent with sorrow,
And my years with sighing:
My strength faileth because of mine iniquity,
And my bones are wasted away.

Because of all mine adversaries I am become a reproach,
Yea, unto my neighbors exceedingly,
And a fear to mine acquaintance:
They that did see me without fled from me.
