Psalms 31:15-21

¹⁵my times are in your hand, save me from the hand of the foes who pursue me.

¹⁶Make your face to shine on your servant, save me in your love.

¹⁷Put me not, O Lord, to shame, for I have called upon you. Let the wicked be put to shame silent in Sheol.

¹⁸Strike the false lips dumb, that speak proudly against the righteous with haughtiness and contempt.

¹⁹How great is the goodness you have treasured for those who fear you, and wrought for those who take refuge in you, in plain sight of all!

²⁰In your sheltering wings you hide them from plottings of people, you keep them safe in a bower from the chiding of tongues.

²¹Blest be the Lord for the wonderful love he has shown me in time of distress.
