Psalm 31 (WEBP)

[1] In you, Yahweh, I take refuge. Let me never be disappointed. Deliver me in your righteousness.
[2] Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense to save me.
[3] For you are my rock and my fortress, therefore for your name’s sake lead me and guide me.
[4] Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, for you are my stronghold.
[5] Into your hand I commend my spirit. You redeem me, Yahweh, God of truth.
[6] I hate those who regard lying vanities, but I trust in Yahweh.
[7] I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness, for you have seen my affliction. You have known my soul in adversities.
[8] You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy. You have set my feet in a large place.
[9] Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am in distress. My eye, my soul, and my body waste away with grief.
[10] For my life is spent with sorrow, my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my iniquity. My bones are wasted away.
[11] Because of all my adversaries I have become utterly contemptible to my neighbors, a horror to my acquaintances. Those who saw me on the street fled from me.
[12] I am forgotten from their hearts like a dead man. I am like broken pottery.
[13] For I have heard the slander of many, terror on every side, while they conspire together against me, they plot to take away my life.
[14] But I trust in you, Yahweh. I said, “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.
[16] Make your face to shine on your servant. Save me in your loving kindness.
[17] Let me not be disappointed, Yahweh, for I have called on you. Let the wicked be disappointed. Let them be silent in Sheol.
[18] Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.
[19] Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the sons of men!
[20] In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.
[21] Praise be to Yahweh, for he has shown me his marvelous loving kindness in a strong city.
[22] As for me, I said in my haste, “I am cut off from before your eyes.” Nevertheless you heard the voice of my petitions when I cried to you.
[23] Oh love Yahweh, all you his saints! Yahweh preserves the faithful, and fully recompenses him who behaves arrogantly.
[24] Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in Yahweh.

Psalm 31:17 Sheol is the place of the dead.

[1] [30:1] εις το τελος ψαλμος τω δαυιδ εκστασεως [30:2] επι σοι κυριε ηλπισα μη καταισχυνθειην εις τον αιωνα εν τη δικαιοσυνη σου ρυσαι με και εξελου με
[2] [30:3] κλινον προς με το ους σου ταχυνον του εξελεσθαι με γενου μοι εις θεον υπερασπιστην και εις οικον καταφυγης του σωσαι με
[3] [30:4] οτι κραταιωμα μου και καταφυγη μου ει συ και ενεκεν του ονοματος σου οδηγησεις με και διαθρεψεις με
[4] [30:5] εξαξεις με εκ παγιδος ταυτης ης εκρυψαν μοι οτι συ ει ο υπερασπιστης μου
[5] [30:6] εις χειρας σου παραθησομαι το πνευμα μου ελυτρωσω με κυριε ο θεος της αληθειας
[6] [30:7] εμισησας τους διαφυλασσοντας ματαιοτητας δια κενης εγω δε επι τω κυριω ηλπισα
[7] [30:8] αγαλλιασομαι και ευφρανθησομαι επι τω ελεει σου οτι επειδες την ταπεινωσιν μου εσωσας εκ των αναγκων την ψυχην μου
[8] [30:9] και ου συνεκλεισας με εις χειρας εχθρου εστησας εν ευρυχωρω τους ποδας μου
[9] [30:10] ελεησον με κυριε οτι θλιβομαι εταραχθη εν θυμω ο οφθαλμος μου η ψυχη μου και η γαστηρ μου
[10] [30:11] οτι εξελιπεν εν οδυνη η ζωη μου και τα ετη μου εν στεναγμοις ησθενησεν εν πτωχεια η ισχυς μου και τα οστα μου εταραχθησαν
[11] [30:12] παρα παντας τους εχθρους μου εγενηθην ονειδος και τοις γειτοσιν μου σφοδρα και φοβος τοις γνωστοις μου οι θεωρουντες με εξω εφυγον απ εμου
[12] [30:13] επελησθην ωσει νεκρος απο καρδιας εγενηθην ωσει σκευος απολωλος
[13] [30:14] οτι ηκουσα ψογον πολλων παροικουντων κυκλοθεν εν τω επισυναχθηναι αυτους αμα επ εμε του λαβειν την ψυχην μου εβουλευσαντο
[14] [30:15] εγω δε επι σε ηλπισα κυριε ειπα συ ει ο θεος μου
[15] [30:16] εν ταις χερσιν σου οι καιροι μου ρυσαι με εκ χειρος εχθρων μου και εκ των καταδιωκοντων με
[16] [30:17] επιφανον το προσωπον σου επι τον δουλον σου σωσον με εν τω ελεει σου
[17] [30:18] κυριε μη καταισχυνθειην οτι επεκαλεσαμην σε αισχυνθειησαν οι ασεβεις και καταχθειησαν εις αδου
[18] [30:19] αλαλα γενηθητω τα χειλη τα δολια τα λαλουντα κατα του δικαιου ανομιαν εν υπερηφανια και εξουδενωσει
[19] [30:20] ως πολυ το πληθος της χρηστοτητος σου κυριε ης εκρυψας τοις φοβουμενοις σε εξειργασω τοις ελπιζουσιν επι σε εναντιον των υιων των ανθρωπων
[20] [30:21] κατακρυψεις αυτους εν αποκρυφω του προσωπου σου απο ταραχης ανθρωπων σκεπασεις αυτους εν σκηνη απο αντιλογιας γλωσσων
[21] [30:22] ευλογητος κυριος οτι εθαυμαστωσεν το ελεος αυτου εν πολει περιοχης
[22] [30:23] εγω δε ειπα εν τη εκστασει μου απερριμμαι αρα απο προσωπου των οφθαλμων σου δια τουτο εισηκουσας της φωνης της δεησεως μου εν τω κεκραγεναι με προς σε
[23] [30:24] αγαπησατε τον κυριον παντες οι οσιοι αυτου οτι αληθειας εκζητει κυριος και ανταποδιδωσιν τοις περισσως ποιουσιν υπερηφανιαν
[24] [30:25] ανδριζεσθε και κραταιουσθω η καρδια υμων παντες οι ελπιζοντες επι κυριον
