Psalm 31:1–53 matched frames1 pivot

Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

  • A 1 In thee, O YAHWEH, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
    • B 2 Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: BE THOU MY STRONG rock,
      • C 2 for an house OF DEFENCE to save me.
        • D 3 For thou art my rock
      • C' 3 and MY FORTRESS; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.
    • B' 4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: FOR THOU ART MY STRENGTH.
  • A' 5 Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O YAHWEH God of truth.
