Context of Psalms 31:19
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. [Oh] 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.
