Read in KJV Bible Reader

Psalms 31:2. Bow down thine ear to me;

"Listen to me, O Lord! Stoop down out of thy glory to catch the faint accents of my sorrowing, almost expiring spirit."

Psalms 31:2. Deliver me speedily:

"My case is urgent, Lord, for I am in deep distress. Delay will be dangerous, and may be even fatal: ‘Deliver me speedily:’ "

Psalms 31:2. Be thou my strong rock, for an house of defense to save me.

David was so accustomed to hide in the rocks of Engedi, and similar fastnesses, that we do not wonder that he found such a comparison as this come naturally to his mind: "Be thou my strong rock, for an house of defense to save me."
