Psalms 31:14-22

¹⁴But I trusted in thee, O Jehovah: I said, Thou art my God.

¹⁵My times are in thy hand: Deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

¹⁶Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: Save me in thy lovingkindness.

¹⁷Let me not be put to shame, O Jehovah; for I have called upon thee: Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol.

¹⁸Let the lying lips be dumb, Which speak against the righteous insolently, With pride and contempt.

¹⁹Oh how great is thy goodness, Which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, Which thou hast wrought for them that take refuge in thee, Before the sons of men!

²⁰In the covert of thy presence wilt thou hide them from the plottings of man: Thou wilt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

²¹Blessed be Jehovah; For he hath showed me his marvellous lovingkindness in a strong city.

²²As for me, I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: Nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications, When I cried unto thee.
