13. For I have heard an evil account of many, Fear [is] round about. In their being united against me, To take my life they have devised,
14. And I on Thee--I have trusted, O Jehovah, I have said, `Thou [art] my God.'
15. In Thy hand [are] my times, Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from my pursuers.
16. Cause Thy face to shine on Thy servant, Save me in Thy kindness.
17. O Jehovah, let me not be ashamed, For I have called Thee, let the wicked be ashamed, Let them become silent to Sheol.
18. Let lips of falsehood become dumb, That are speaking against the righteous, Ancient sayings, in pride and contempt.
19. How abundant is Thy goodness, That Thou hast laid up for those fearing Thee,
20. Thou hast wrought for those trusting in Thee, Before sons of men. Thou hidest them in the secret place of Thy presence, From artifices of man, Thou concealest them in a tabernacle, From the strife of tongues.
21. Blessed [is] Jehovah, For He hath made marvellous His kindness To me in a city of bulwarks.
