Psalms 30 — ENGLXXUP

30 Verse 1 For the end, a Psalm of David, an utterance of extreme fear. ^{Verse 2} O Lord, I have hoped in thee; let me never be ashamed: ^{Verse 3} Incline thine ear to me; ^{Verse 4} For thou art my strength and my refuge; ^{Verse 5} Thou shalt bring me out of the snare which they have hidden for me; ^{Verse 6} Into thy hands I will commit my spirit: ^{Verse 7} Thou hast hated them that idly persist in vanities: ^{Verse 8} I will exult and be glad in thy mercy: ^{Verse 9} And thou hast not shut me up into the hands of the enemy: ^{Verse 10} Pity me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: ^{Verse 11} For my life is spent with grief, ^{Verse 12} I became a reproach among all mine enemies, ^{Verse 13} I have been forgotten as a dead man out of mind: ^{Verse 14} For I heard the slander of many that dwelt round about: ^{Verse 15} But I hoped in thee, O Lord: ^{Verse 16} My lots are in thy hands: ^{Verse 17} And from them that persecute me. ^{Verse 18} O Lord, let me not be ashamed, for I have called upon thee: ^{Verse 19} Let the deceitful lips become dumb, ^{Verse 20} How abundant is the multitude of thy goodness, O Lord, ^{Verse 21} Thou wilt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the vexation of man: ^{Verse 22} Blessed be the Lord: for he has magnified his mercy in a fortified city. ^{Verse 23} But I said in my extreme fear, ^{Verse 24} Love the Lord, all ye his saints: ^{Verse 25} Be of good courage, and let your heart be strengthened,
