"You are my refuge from the tribulation that has surrounded me. You are my exultation: rescue me from those who are surrounding me. "
— Psalms 31:7, Catholic Public Domain Version
“I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;”
“I will be glad and rejoice in thy lovingkindness; For thou hast seen my affliction: Thou hast known my soul in adversities; ”
“I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness, for you have seen my affliction. You have known my soul in adversities.”
“I will be happy and rejoice in your faithfulness, because you notice my pain and you are aware of how distressed I am.”
“Thou art my refuge from the trouble which hath encompassed me: my joy, deliver me from them that surround me.”
“I will be glad and have delight in your mercy; because you have seen my trouble; you have had pity on my soul in its sorrows;”
“I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;”
For, day and night, your hand was heavy upon me. I have been converted in my anguish, while still the thorn is piercing.
I have acknowledged my offense to you, and I have not concealed my injustice. I said, “I will confess against myself, my injustice to the Lord,” and you forgave the impiety of my sin.
For this, everyone who is holy will pray to you in due time. Yet truly, in a flood of many waters, they will not draw near to him.
You are my refuge from the tribulation that has surrounded me. You are my exultation: rescue me from those who are surrounding me.
I will give you understanding, and I will instruct you in this way, in which you will walk. I will fix my eyes upon you.
Do not become like the horse and the mule, which have no understanding. Their jaws are constrained with bit and bridle, so as not to draw near to you.
Many are the scourges of the sinner, but mercy will surround him that hopes in the Lord.
