13 I hear the lies many people tell about me. There is terror all around me. Many have joined together against me. They plan to kill me.
14 But I trust in you, Lord. I say, "You are my God."
15 My whole life is in your hands. Save me from my enemies. Save me from those who are chasing me.
16 Let your face smile on me with favor. Save me because your love is faithful.
17 Lord, I have cried out to you. Don't let me be put to shame. But let sinners be put to shame. Let them lie silent in the grave.
18 Their lips tell lies. Let them be silenced. They speak with pride against those who do right. They make fun of them.
19 How great your goodness is! You have stored it up for those who have respect for you. While other people watch, you give it to those who run to you for safety.
