Psalms 31:5-18 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

5. Into your hand I commit my spirit: you have redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.

6. I have hated them that regard vain idols: but I trust in the LORD.

7. I will be glad and rejoice in your mercy: for you have considered my trouble; you have known my soul in adversities;

8. And have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: you have set my feet in a wide place.

9. Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: my eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my body.

10. For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones are consumed.

11. I was a reproach among all my enemies, but especially among my neighbors, and a horror to my acquaintance: they that did see me outside fled from me.

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

13. 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.

14. But I trusted in you, O LORD: I said, you are my God.

15. My times are in your hand: deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from them that persecute me.

16. Make your face to shine upon your servant: save me for your mercies' sake.

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

18. Let the lying lips be put to silence; who speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
