Psalms of David 31

PSALM XXXI.
S. M.
1DEFEND me, Lord, from shame,
For still I trust in thee;
As just and righteous is thy Name,
From danger set me free.
2Bow down thy gracious ear,
And speedy succour send;
Do thou my steadfast rock appear,
To shelter and defend.
3Since thou, when foes oppress,
My rock and fortress art,
To guide me forth from this distress
Thy wonted help impart.
4Release me from the snare
Which they have closely laid,
Since I, O God my strength, repair
To thee alone for aid.
5To thee, the God of truth,
My life, and all that’s mine,
(For thou preserv’dst me from my youth,)
I willingly resign.
6All vain designs I hate
Of those that trust in lies;
And still my soul in ev’ry state
To God for succour flies.
The Second Part.
7Those mercies thou hast shown
I’ll cheerfully express;
For thou hast seen my straits, and known
My soul in deep distress.
8When Keilah’s treach’rous race
Did all my strength enclose,
Thou gav’st my feet a larger space
To shun my watchful foes.
9Thy mercy, Lord, display,
And hear my just complaint;
For both my soul and flesh decay,
With grief and hunger faint.
10Sad thoughts my life oppress;
My years are spent in groans;
My sins have made mystrength decrease,
And e’en consum’d my bones.
11My foes my suffrings mock’d;
My neighbours did upbraid;
My friends, at sight of me, were shock’d,
And fled as men dismay’d.
12Forsook by all am I,
As dead and out of mind;
And like a shatter’d vessel lie,
Whose parts can ne’er be join’d.
13Yet sland’ring words they speak,
And seem my pow’r to dread;
Whilst they together counsel take
My guiltless blood to shed.
14But still my steadfast trust
I on thy help repose;
That thou, my God, art good and just,
My soul with comfort knows.
The Third Part.
15Whate’er events betide,
Thy wisdom times them all;
Then, Lord, thy servant safely hide
From those that seek his fall.
16The brightness of thy face
To me, O Lord, disclose;
And, as thy mercies still increase,
Preserve me from my foes.
17Me from dishonour save,
Who still have call’d on thee;
Let that, and silence in the grave,
The sinner’s portion be.
18Do thou their tongues restrain,
Whose breath in lies is spent;
Who false reports, with proud disdain,
Against the righteous vent.
19How great thy mercies are
To such as fear thy Name,
Which thou, for those that trust thy care,
Dost to the world proclaim!
20Thou keep’st them in thy sight,
From proud oppressors free;
From tongues that do in strife delight
They are preserv’d by thee.
21With glory and renown
God’s Name be ever bless’d;
Whose love in Keilah’s well-fenc’d town
Was wondrously express’d.
22I said, in hasty flight,
I’m banish’d from thine eyes;
Yet still thou kept’st me in thy sight,
And heard’st my earnest cries.
23O all ye saints, the Lord
With eager love pursue;
Who to the just will help afford,
And give the proud their due.
24Ye that on God rely,
Courageously proceed:
For he will still your hearts supply
With strength in time of need.
