Psalms 30:1-11

¹(31) For the end, a Psalm of 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.

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.

³For you are my strength and my refuge; and you shall guide me for your name's sake, and maintain me.

⁴You shall bring me out of the snare which they have hidden for me; for you, O Lord, are my defender.

⁵Into your hands I will commit my spirit: you have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.

⁶You have hated them that idly persist in vanities: but I have hoped in the Lord.

⁷I will exult and be glad in your mercy: for you have looked upon my affliction; you have saved my soul from distresses.

⁸And you have not shut me up into the hands of the enemy: you have set my feet in a wide place.

⁹Pity me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with indignation, my soul and by belly.

¹⁰For my life is spent with grief, and my years with groanings: my strength has been weakened through poverty, and my bones are troubled.

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.
