Psalm 31:13-19

Amplified Bible

¹³ 
For I have heard the slander and whispering of many,
Terror is on every side;
While they schemed together against me,
They plotted to take away my life.^(A)

¹⁴ 
But as for me, I trust [confidently] in You and Your greatness, O Lord;
I said, “You are my God.”
¹⁵ 
My times are in Your hands;
Rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from those who pursue and persecute me.
¹⁶ 
Make Your face shine upon Your servant;
Save me in Your lovingkindness.
¹⁷ 
Let me not be put to shame, O Lord, for I call on You;
Let the wicked (godless) be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead).
¹⁸ 
Let the lying lips be mute,
Which speak insolently and arrogantly against the [consistently] righteous
With pride and contempt.

¹⁹ 
How great is Your goodness,
Which You have stored up for those who [reverently] fear You,
Which You have prepared for those who take refuge in You,
^[a]Before the sons of man!
