Psalm 31:15

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

My times are wholly in thine hand: do thou deliver me From their hands that mine enemies and persecutors be.

See the chapter Copy

Because I am brought very low, attend unto my cry: Me from my persecutors save, who stronger are than I.

Lord, free me from my foes; I flee to thee to cover me.

For th' en'my hath pursu'd my soul, my life to ground down tread: In darkness he hath made me dwell, as who have long been dead.

And of thy mercy slay my foes; let all destroyed be That do afflict my soul: for I a servant am to thee.

Dear in God's sight is his saints' death.

Arise, and disappoint my foe, and cast him down, O Lord: My soul save from the wicked man, the man which is thy sword.

O Lord, I trust in thee: My God, let me not be asham'd, nor foes triumph o'er me.

I of the Lord my God will say, He is my refuge still, He is my fortress, and my God, and in him trust I will.

O God the Lord, who art the strength of my salvation: A cov'ring in the day of war my head thou hast put on.
