18 Silence their lying lips—
    those proud and arrogant lips that accuse the godly.

19 How great is the goodness
    you have stored up for those who fear you.
You lavish it on those who come to you for protection,

    safe from those who conspire against them.
You shelter them in your presence,
    far from accusing tongues.

    from the plots of men;
you (E)store them in your shelter
    from the strife of tongues.
