1(31) For the end, a Psalmof David, [an utterance] of extreme fear. O Lord, I have hoped in you; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in your righteousness and rescue me.
1A Psalm. A Song for the Dedication of the Temple. By David. I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2Incline your ear to me; make haste to rescue me: be you to me for a protecting God, and for a house of refuge to save me.
2Yahweh my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.
3For you are my strength and my refuge; and you shall guide me for your name's sake, and maintain me.
3Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4You shall bring me out of the snare which they have hidden for me; for you, O Lord, are my defender.
4Sing praise to Yahweh, you saints of his. Give thanks to his holy name.
5Into your hands I will commit my spirit: you have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
5For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.
6You have hated them that idly persist in vanities: but I have hoped in the Lord.
6As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.”
7I will exult and be glad in your mercy: for you have looked upon my affliction; you have saved my soul from distresses.
7You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.
8And you have not shut me up into the hands of the enemy: you have set my feet in a wide place.
8I cried to you, Yahweh. I made supplication to the Lord:
9Pity me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with indignation, my soul and by belly.
9“What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?
10For my life is spent with grief, and my years with groanings: my strength has been weakened through poverty, and my bones are troubled.
10Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me. Yahweh, be my helper.”
11I became a reproach among all my enemies, but exceedingly so to my neighbors, and a fear to my acquaintance: they that saw me without fled from me.
11You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,
12I have been forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am become as a broken vessel.
12to the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
