Trusting God through Psalm 31


In You, O LORD, I put my trust;
​​Let me never be ashamed;
​​Deliver me in Your righteousness.
Bow down Your ear to me,
​​Deliver me speedily;
​​Be my rock of refuge,
​​A fortress of defense to save me.

For You are my rock and my fortress;
​​Therefore, for Your name’s sake,
​​Lead me and guide me.
​Into Your hand I commit my spirit;
​​You have redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.

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.
16 ​​Make Your face shine upon Your servant;
​​Save me for Your mercies’ sake.
17 ​​Do not let me be ashamed, O LORD, for I have called upon You;
​​Let the wicked be ashamed;
​​Let them be silent in the grave.
18 ​​Let the lying lips be put to silence,
​​Which speak insolent things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

19 ​​Oh, how great is Your goodness,
​​Which You have laid up for those who are in awe of You,
​​Which You have prepared for those who trust in You
​​In the presence of the sons of men!
20 ​​You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence
​​From the plots of man;
​​You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion
​​From the strife of tongues.

21 ​​Blessed be the LORD,
​​For He has shown me His marvelous kindness in a strong city!
22 ​​For I said in my haste,
​​“I am cut off from before Your eyes”;
​​Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications
​​When I cried out to You.

23 ​​Oh, love the LORD, all you His saints!
​​For the LORD preserves the faithful,
​​And fully repays the proud person.
24 ​​Be of good courage,
​​And He shall strengthen your heart,
​​All you who hope in the LORD.

Amen.
