15. My times are in your hand.Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.
16. Make your face to shine on your servant.Save me in your loving kindness.
17. Let me not be disappointed, Lord, for I have called on you.Let the wicked be disappointed.Let them be silent in Sheol.
18. Let the lying lips be mute,which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.
19. Oh how great is your goodness,which you have laid up for those who fear you,which you have worked for those who take refuge in you,before the sons of men!
20. In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man.You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.
21. Praise be to the Lord,for he has shown me his marvellous loving kindness in a strong city.
22. As for me, I said in my haste, “I am cut off from before your eyes.”Nevertheless you heard the voice of my petitions when I cried to you.
23. Oh love the Lord, all you his holy ones!The Lord preserves the faithful,and fully recompenses him who behaves arrogantly.
24. Be strong, and let your heart take courage,all you who hope in the Lord.
