9 When I go down to the pit, my blood shall return to the dust. I will praise thee; my soul shall declare thy truth; for what profit am I, if I do it not?
10 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me; Lord, be thou my helper.
11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
12 To the end that my soul may give glory to thy name, and sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee forever.
Psalms 31 Intro: David rejoiceth in God's mercy, and praiseth him for his goodness. (To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.)
1 In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed; deliver me in thy righteousness.
2 Bow down thine ears to me; deliver me speedily; be thou my strong rock, for a house of defense to save me.
3 For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake, lead me, and guide me.
4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me; for thou art my strength.
5 Into thine hand I commit my spirit; thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
6 I have hated them that regard lying vanities; but I trust in the Lord.
