Psalms 31:15-20

15You determine my destiny! Rescue me from the power of my enemies and those who chase me.

16Smile on your servant! Deliver me because of your faithfulness!

17O Lord, do not let me be humiliated, for I call out to you! May evil men be humiliated! May they go wailing to the grave!

18May lying lips be silenced – lips that speak defiantly against the innocent with arrogance and contempt!

19How great is your favor, which you store up for your loyal followers! In plain sight of everyone you bestow it on those who take shelter in you.

20You hide them with you, where they are safe from the attacks of men; you conceal them in a shelter, where they are safe from slanderous attacks.
