Psalms 31:15-21

¹⁵my times be in thine hands. Deliver thou me from the hands of mine enemies; and from them that pursue me.

¹⁶Make thou clear thy face on thy servant; Lord, make thou me safe in thy mercy;

¹⁷be I not shamed, for I inwardly called thee. Unpious men be ashamed, and be they led forth into hell;

¹⁸guileful lips be made dumb. That speak wickedness against a just or rightwise man; in pride, and in mis-using or in abusing.

¹⁹Lord, the multitude of thy sweet-ness is full great; which thou hast hid to men dreading thee. Thou hast made a perfect thing to them that hope in thee; in the sight of the sons of men.

²⁰Thou shalt hide them in the private of thy face; from the troubling of men. Thou shalt defend them in thy tabernacle; from the against-saying of tongues.

²¹Blessed be the Lord; for he hath made wonderful his mercy to me in a strengthened city.
