Psalms 31:15-20

15My 1times are in Your hand; 2Deliver me from the hand of my enemies and from those who persecute me.16Make Your 3face to shine upon Your servant; 4Save me in Your lovingkindness.17Let me not be 5put to shame, O Lord, for I call upon You; Let the 6wicked be put to shame, let them 7be silent in 8Sheol.18Let the 9lying lips be mute, Which 10speak arrogantly against the righteous With pride and contempt.

19How great is Your 11goodness, Which You have stored up for those who fear You, Which You have wrought for those who 12take refuge in You, 13Before the sons of men!20You hide them in the 14secret place of Your presence from the 15conspiracies of man; You keep them secretly in a 16shelter from the 17strife of tongues.
