Psalms 31:15-20

15You are the one who decides what will happen to me in my whole life. Save me from the power of my enemies and from the people who want to catch me.

16Turn towards me, your servant, and be kind to me! Keep me safe, because of your faithful love.

17Lord, do not let me become ashamed. I call to you for help. Cause evil people to become ashamed. Let them go to their graves and be silent there!

18May people that tell lies become silent. They insult righteous people. They are proud people, and they boast about themselves.

19You have prepared many good things to bless people who respect you. While everyone watches, you bless those who come to you for help.

20You give them a place to hide, and you keep them safe with you. When their enemies want to attack them, you take care of them. When their enemies speak lies against them, they are safe with you.
