61 O Lord , do not rebuke me in Your anger , Nor chasten me in Your wrath . 2 Be gracious to me, O Lord , for I am pining away ; Heal me, O Lord , for my bones are dismayed . 3 And my soul is greatly dismayed ; But You, O Lord - how long e ? 4 Return , O Lord , rescue my soul ; Save me because of Your lovingkindness . 5 For there is no mention of You in death ; In Sheol who will give You thanks ? 6 I am weary with my sighing ; Every night I make my bed swim , I dissolve my couch with my tears . 7 My eye has wasted away with grief ; It has become old because of all my adversaries .
8 Depart from me, all you who do iniquity , For the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping . 9 The Lord has heard my supplication , The Lord receives my prayer . 10 All my enemies will be ashamed and greatly dismayed ; They shall turn back , they will suddenly be ashamed .
31 O Lord , how my adversaries have increased ! Many are rising up against me. 2 Many are saying of my soul , "There is no deliverance for him in God ." Selah . 3 But You, O Lord , are a shield about me, My glory , and the One who lifts my head .
4 I was crying to the Lord with my voice , And He answered me from His holy mountain . Selah . 5 I lay down and slept ; I awoke , for the Lord sustains me. 6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves against me round about . 7 Arise , O Lord ; save me, O my God ! For You have smitten all my enemies on the cheek ; You have shattered the teeth of the wicked . 8 Salvation belongs to the Lord ; Your blessing be upon Your people ! Selah .
