30:12. I am become a reproach among all my enemies, and very much to my
neighbours; and a fear to my acquaintance. They that saw me without fled
from me.
30:13. I am forgotten as one dead from the heart. I am become as a
vessel that is destroyed.
30:14. For I have heard the blame of many that dwell round about. While
they assembled together against me, they consulted to take away my life.
30:15. But I have put my trust in thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my God.
30:16. My lots are in thy hands. Deliver me out of the hands of my
enemies; and from them that persecute me.
30:17. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy mercy.
30:18. Let me not be confounded, O Lord, for I have called upon thee.
Let the wicked be ashamed, and be brought down to hell.
30:19. Let deceitful lips be made dumb. Which speak iniquity against the
just, with pride and abuse.
30:20. O how great is the multitude of thy sweetness, O Lord, which thou
hast hidden for them that fear thee! Which thou hast wrougth for them
that hope inthee, in the sight of the sons of men.
30:21. Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy face, from the
disturbance of men. Thoushalt protect them in thy tabernacle form the
contradiction of tongues.
30:22. Blessed be the Lord, for he hath shewn his wonderful mercy to me
in a fortified city.
30:23. But I said in the excess of my mind: I am cast away from before
thy eyes. Therefore thou hast heard the voice of my prayer, when I cried
to thee.
30:24. O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord will require
truth, and will repay them abundantly that act proudly.
30:25. Do ye manfully, and let your heart be strengthened, all ye that
hope in the Lord.
Psalms Chapter 31
Beati quorum.
The second penitential psalm.
31:1. To David himself, understanding. Blessed are they whose iniquities
are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
31:2. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not inputed sin, and in
whose spirit there is no guile.
31:3. Because I was silent my bones grew old; whilst I cried out all the
day long.
Because I was silent, etc... That is, whilst I kept silence, by
concealing, or refusing to confess my sins, thy hand was heavy upon me,
etc.
31:4. For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I am turned in my
anguish, whilst the thorn is fastened.
I am turned, etc... That is, I turn and roll about in my bed to seek for
ease in my pain whilst the thorn of thy justice pierces my flesh, and
sticks fast in me. Or, I am turned: that is, I am converted to thee, my
God, by being brought to a better understanding by thy chastisements. In
the Hebrew it is, my moisture is turned into the droughts of the summer.
31:5. I have acknowledged my sin to thee, and my injustice I have not
concealed. I said I will confess against my self my injustice to the
Lord: and thou hast forgiven the wickedness of my sin.
31:6. For this shall every one that is holy pray to thee in a seasonable
time. And yet in a flood of many waters, they shall not come nigh unto
him.
