Psalms 31:15-21

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 for thy mercy’s sake.

¹⁷Let me not be ashamed, O Lord; for I have called upon thee: Let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.

¹⁸Let the lying lips be put to silence; Which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

¹⁹O how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; Which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee Before the sons of men!

²⁰Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: Thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

²¹Blessed be the Lord: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.
