American Standard Version

Psalm 31:5-12 American Standard Version (ASV)

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

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

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

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

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

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
