15 My times(A) are in your hands;
    deliver me from the hands of my enemies,
    from those who pursue me.
16 Let your face shine(B) on your servant;
    save me in your unfailing love.(C)
17 Let me not be put to shame,(D) Lord,
    for I have cried out to you;
but let the wicked be put to shame
    and be silent(E) in the realm of the dead.
18 Let their lying lips(F) be silenced,
    for with pride and contempt
    they speak arrogantly(G) against the righteous.

19 How abundant are the good things(H)
    that you have stored up for those who fear you,
that you bestow in the sight of all,(I)
    on those who take refuge(J) in you.
20 In the shelter(K) of your presence you hide(L) them
    from all human intrigues;(M)
you keep them safe in your dwelling
    from accusing tongues.

15 My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

16 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.

17 Let me not be ashamed, O Lord; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.

18 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

19 Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!

20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
