New King James Version

Psalms 31:5-15 New King James Version (NKJV)

5. Into Your hand I commit my spirit;You have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.

6. I have hated those who regard useless 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 on me, O Lord, for I am in trouble;My eye wastes away with grief,Yes, 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 waste away.

11. I am a reproach among all my enemies,But especially among my neighbors,And am repulsive to my acquaintances;Those who see me outside flee from me.

12. I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind;I am like a broken vessel.

13. For I hear the slander of many;Fear is on every side;While they take counsel together against me,They scheme to take away my life.

14. But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord;I say, “You are my God.”

15. My times are in Your hand;Deliver me from the hand of my enemies,And from those who persecute me.
