Context of Psalms 31:15

13For I have heard the slander of many — terror on every side — when they take counsel together against me: they plot to take away my life. 14But I confided in thee, Jehovah; I said, thou art my God. My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from my persecutors. 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.
