11Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me; *
O Lord, be my helper.”
12You have turned my wailing into dancing; *
you have put off my sack‑cloth and clothed me with joy.
13Therefore my heart sings to you without ceasing; *
O Lord my God, I will give you thanks for ever.
31In te, Domine, speravi
1In you, O Lord, have I taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame; *
deliver me in your righteousness.
2Incline your ear to me; *
make haste to deliver me.
3Be my strong rock, a castle to keep me safe,
for you are my crag and my stronghold; *
for the sake of your Name, lead me and guide me.
4Take me out of the net that they have secretly set for me, *
for you are my tower of strength.
5Into your hands I commend my spirit, *
for you have redeemed me,
O Lord, O God of truth.
6I hate those who cling to worthless idols, *
and I put my trust in the Lord.
7I will rejoice and be glad because of your mercy; *
for you have seen my affliction;
you know my distress.
622Psalm 31
