Psalms 31:16-21

¹⁶Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy loving-kindness.

¹⁷Jehovah, let me not be ashamed; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, let them be silent in Sheol.

¹⁸Let the lying lips become dumb, which speak insolently against the righteous in 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 trust in thee, before the sons of men!

²⁰Thou keepest them concealed in the secret of thy presence from the conspiracies of man; thou hidest them in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

²¹Blessed be Jehovah; for he hath shewn me wondrously his loving-kindness in a strong city.
