  Speaker 1: Psalm thirty one for the Chief Musician, a psalm by David.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: In you, Yahweh, I take refuge. Let me never be
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: put to shame. Deliver me in your righteousness. Bow down
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: your ear to me, Deliver me speedily. Be to me
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: a strong rock, a house of defense, to save me.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: For you are my rock and my fortress. Therefore, for
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: your name's sake, lead me and guide me. Pluck me
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: out of the net that they have laid secretly for me.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: For you are my stronghold. Into your hand, I commend
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: my spirit. You redeem me, Yahweh, God of Truth. I
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: hate those who regard lying vanities, but I trust in Yahweh.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: For you have seen my affliction. You have known my
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: soul in adversities. You have not shut me up into
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: the hand of the enemy. You have set my feet
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: in a large place. Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I am in distress. My eye, my soul, and my
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: body waste away with grief. For my life is spent
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: with sorrow, my years with sighing. My strength fails because
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: of my iniquity. My bones are wasted away, because of
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: all my adversaries. I have become utterly contemptible to my neighbors,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: a fear to my acquaintances. Those who saw me on
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the street fled from me. I am forgotten from their
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: hearts like a dead man. I am like broken pottery.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: For I have heard the slander of many terror on
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: every side. While they conspire together against me. They plot
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: to take away my life. But I trust in you, Yahweh,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I said, you are my God. My times are in
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and from those who persecute me. Make your face to
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: shine on your servants. Save me in your loving kindness.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Let me not be put to shame, Yahweh, for I
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: have called on you. Let the wicked be put to shame.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Let them be silent and shield, Let the lying lips
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: be mute, which speak against the righteous and sullently with
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: pride and contempt. Oh, how great is your goodness which
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: you have laid up for those who fear you, which
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: you have worked for those who take refuge in you
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: before the sons of men. In the covert of your presence.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: You will hide them from the plotting of man. You
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: will keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: of tongues. Praise be to Yahweh, for he has shown
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: me his marvelous, loving kindness in a strong city. As
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: for me, I said in my haste, I am cut
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: off from before your eyes. Nevertheless, you heard the voice
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: of my petitions when I cried to you, O love Yahweh,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: all you his saints. Yahweh preserves the faithful and pays
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: back him who deals proudly and full Be strong and
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: let your heart take courage, all you who hope in Yahweh.
