Psalms 31:13-17

¹³(31:14) For I have heard the slandering of many; terror was on every side, while they took counsel together against me: to take away my life did they purpose.

¹⁴(31:15) But I trusted well in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.

¹⁵(31:16) In thy hand are my destinies: deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from my persecutors.

¹⁶(31:17) Let thy face shine upon thy servant: save me through thy kindness.

¹⁷(31:18) O Lord, let me not be put to shame; for I have called on thee: let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent, passing to the nether world.
