Psalm 31:16-18

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁶ Please welcome and accept your servant.^[a]
    Be kind to me and save me.
¹⁷ Lord, I am praying to you.
    Don’t let me be disappointed.
The wicked are the ones who should be disappointed.
    Let them go to the grave in silence.
¹⁸ Those evil people brag
    and tell lies about those who do right.
They are so proud now,
    but their lying lips will be silent.
