16. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy loving-kindness.
17. Jehovah, let me not be ashamed; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, let them be silent in Sheol.
18. Let the lying lips become dumb, which speak insolently against the righteous in pride and contempt.
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 keepest them concealed in the secret of thy presence from the conspiracies of man; thou hidest them in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
21. Blessed be Jehovah; for he hath shewn me wondrously his loving-kindness in a strong city.
