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!
20. You shall hide them in the secret of your presence from the pride of man: you shall keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
21. Blessed be the LORD: for he has showed me his marvelous kindness in a strong city.
22. For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before your eyes: nevertheless you heard the voice of my supplications when I cried unto you.
23. O love the LORD, all you his saints: for the LORD preserves the faithful, and plentifully repays the proud doer.
24. Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all you that hope in the LORD.
