Psalm 31:1–24 (The Living Bible) Lord,
I trust in you alone. Don’t let my enemies defeat me. Rescue me because you
are the God who always does what is right. 2Answer quickly when I
cry to you; bend low and hear my whispered plea. Be for me a great Rock of
safety from my foes. 3Yes, you are my Rock and my fortress; honor
your name by leading me out of this peril. 4Pull me from the trap my
enemies have set for me. For you alone are strong enough. 5-6Into
your hand I commit my spirit.
You have rescued me, O God who keeps his promises. I worship only
you; how you hate all those who worship idols, those imitation gods. 7I
am radiant with joy because of your mercy, for you have listened to my troubles
and have seen the crisis in my soul. 8You have not handed me over to
my enemy but have given me open ground in which to maneuver.
9-10O Lord, have mercy on me in my
anguish. My eyes are red from weeping; my health is broken from sorrow. I am
pining away with grief; my years are shortened, drained away because of
sadness. My sins have sapped my strength; I stoop with sorrow and with shame. 11I
am scorned by all my enemies and even more by my neighbors and friends. They
dread meeting me and look the other way when I go by. 12I am
forgotten like a dead man, like a broken and discarded pot. 13I
heard the lies about me, the slanders of my enemies. Everywhere I looked I was
afraid, for they were plotting against my life.
14-15But I am trusting you, O Lord. I
said, “You alone are my God; my times are in your hands. Rescue me from those
who hunt me down relentlessly. 16Let your favor shine again upon
your servant; save me just because you are so kind! 17Don’t disgrace
me, Lord, by not replying when I call to you for aid. But let the wicked be
shamed by what they trust in; let them lie silently in their graves, 18their
lying lips quieted at last—the lips of these arrogant men who are accusing
honest men of evil deeds.”
19Oh, how great is your goodness to
those who publicly declare that you will rescue them. For you have stored up
great blessings for those who trust and reverence you.
20Hide your loved ones in the
shelter of your presence, safe beneath your hand, safe from all conspiring men.
21Blessed is the Lord, for he has shown me that his never-failing
love protects me like the walls of a fort! 22I spoke too hastily
when I said, “The Lord has deserted me,” for you listened to my plea and
answered me.
23Oh, love the Lord, all of you who
are his people; for the Lord protects those who are loyal to him, but harshly
punishes all who haughtily reject him. 24So cheer up! Take courage
if you are depending on the Lord.

2 Peter 1:16–21
(Williams) 16 For it was not mere stories of fancy
that we followed when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He
received such honor and glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory
there was borne to Him a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom
I take delight.” 18 we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven
while we were with Him on that sacred mountain. 19 So we have the
message of the prophets more certainly guaranteed. Please pay attention to this message as to a
lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning
star rises in your hearts; 20 because you recognize this truth above
all else, that no prophecy in Scripture
is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21 for no prophecy has
ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by the Holy Spirit
spoke from God.]
