Psalms 31:14-21

¹⁴But I trust in you, Yahweh; I say, “You are my God.”

¹⁵My times are in your hand. Rescue me from the hands of my enemies and from those who pursue me.

¹⁶Make your face shine on your servant; save me in your covenant faithfulness.

¹⁷Do not let me be humiliated, Yahweh; for I call out to you! May the wicked be humiliated! May they be silent in Sheol.

¹⁸May lying lips be silenced that speak against the righteous defiantly with arrogance and contempt.

¹⁹How great is your goodness that you have stored up for those who revere you, that you perform for those who take refuge in you before all the children of mankind!

²⁰In the shelter of your presence, you hide them from the plots of men. You hide them in a shelter from the violence of tongues.

²¹Blessed be Yahweh, for he showed me his marvelous covenant faithfulness when I was in a besieged city.
