13. For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.
14. But I trusted in you, O LORD: I said, you are my God.
15. My times are in your hand: deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from them that persecute me.
16. Make your face to shine upon your servant: save me for your mercies' sake.
17. Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon you: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.
18. Let the lying lips be put to silence; who speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
19. Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for them that fear you; which you have wrought for them that trust in you before the sons of men!
