Psalms 31:18-23

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.

²²Forsooth I said in the out-passing of my soul; I am cast out from the face of thine eyes. Therefore thou heardest the voice of my prayer; while I cried to thee.

²³All ye holy men of the Lord, love him; for the Lord shall seek truth, and he shall yield plenteously to them that do pride.
