14 But I am trusting you, O Lord,
    saying, “You are my God!”
15 My future is in your hands.
    Rescue me from those who hunt me down relentlessly.
16 Let your favor shine on your servant.
    In your unfailing love, rescue me.
17 Don’t let me be disgraced, O Lord,
    for I call out to you for help.

    let them lie silent in the grave.[a]
18 Silence their lying lips—
    those proud and arrogant lips that accuse the godly.

    save me in your unfailing love.(D)
17 Let me not be put to shame,(E) Lord,

    and be silent(F) in the realm of the dead.
18 Let their lying lips(G) be silenced,
    for with pride and contempt
    they speak arrogantly(H) against the righteous.
