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 thee, O Lord:I said, Thou art my God.
15 My times are in thy hand:deliver me from the hand of mine enemies,and from them that persecute me.
16 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant:save me for thy mercies' sake.
17 Let me not be ashamed, O Lord;for I have called upon thee:let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.
18 Let the lying lips be put to silence;which speak grievous thingsproudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
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 theebefore the sons of men!
