Psalms 31:1

Israel will be saved by Yahweh with an everlasting salvation. You will not be disappointed nor confounded to ages everlasting.

For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

Therefore the Lord Yahweh says, “Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone of a sure foundation. He who believes shall not act hastily.

He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

even as it is written, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed.”

And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”

Because it is contained in Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen and precious: He who believes in him will not be disappointed.”

How much less man, who is a worm, the son of man, who is a worm!”

Teach me your way, Yahweh. Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.

May Yahweh therefore be judge, and give sentence between me and you, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of your hand.”

Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in Yahweh without wavering.

I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.

You will also drink the milk of the nations, and will nurse from royal breasts. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

Have I conceived all this people? Have I brought them out, that you should tell me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries a nursing infant, to the land which you swore to their fathers?’

May Yahweh judge between me and you, and may Yahweh avenge me of you; but my hand will not be on you.

Contend, Yahweh, with those who contend with me. Fight against those who fight against me.

By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn’t triumph over me.

The dead don’t praise Yah, neither any who go down into silence;

Those who trust in Yahweh are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.

See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.

Don’t be afraid, you worm Jacob, and you men of Israel. I will help you,” says Yahweh. “Your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.

Yahweh, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, says to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers: “Kings shall see and rise up, princes, and they shall worship, because of Yahweh who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”

He was despised and rejected by men, a man of suffering and acquainted with disease. He was despised as one from whom men hide their face; and we didn’t respect him.

Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.

The sons of those who afflicted you will come bowing to you; and all those who despised you will bow themselves down at the soles of your feet. They will call you Yahweh’s City, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

They will lick the dust like a serpent. Like crawling things of the earth they shall come trembling out of their dens. They will come with fear to Yahweh our God, and will be afraid because of you.

Yahweh says: “I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the middle of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called ‘The City of Truth;’ and the mountain of Yahweh of Armies, ‘The Holy Mountain.’ ”

according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

whom he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior;

Behold, I give some of the synagogue of Satan, of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but lie—behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.

Rachel said, “God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son.” Therefore she called his name Dan.

He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the wicked will be put to silence in darkness; for no man will prevail by strength.

For what is the hope of the godless, when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?

You will destroy those who speak lies. Yahweh abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

Yahweh administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Yahweh, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.

lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;” lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

I have called on you, for you will answer me, God. Turn your ear to me. Hear my speech.

My God, I have trusted in you. Don’t let me be shamed. Don’t let my enemies triumph over me.

Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed. They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.

Show me your ways, Yahweh. Teach me your paths.

Vindicate me, Yahweh my God, according to your righteousness. Don’t let them gloat over me.

Teach me your way, Yahweh. I will walk in your truth. Make my heart undivided to fear your name.

My soul is laid low in the dust. Revive me according to your word!

Uphold me according to your word, that I may live. Let me not be ashamed of my hope.

I am small and despised. I don’t forget your precepts.

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, for you will be good to me.

Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning, for I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to you.

Revive me, Yahweh, for your name’s sake. In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.

Therefore Yahweh’s anger burns against his people, and he has stretched out his hand against them and has struck them. The mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the middle of the streets. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is still stretched out.

Yahweh says: “The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, will come over to you, and they will be yours. They will go after you.

Hear my prayer, Yahweh. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.

You will keep whoever’s mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you.

I will bear the indignation of Yahweh, because I have sinned against him, until he pleads my case, and executes judgment for me. He will bring me out to the light. I will see his righteousness.

The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children.”

For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Lead me, Yahweh, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before my face.

Let me not be disappointed, Yahweh, for I have called on you. Let the wicked be disappointed. Let them be silent in Sheol.

But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people.
