New International Reader's Version

Psalm 31:4-9 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

4. Free me from the trap that is set for me. You are my place of safety.

5. Into your hands I commit my very life. Lord, set me free. You are my faithful God.

6. I hate those who worship worthless statues of gods. I trust in the Lord.

7. I will be glad and full of joy because you love me. You saw that I was hurting. You took note of my great pain.

8. You have not handed me over to the enemy. You have put me in a wide and safe place.

9. Lord, show me your favor. I'm in deep trouble. I'm so sad I can hardly see. My whole body grows weak with sadness.
