13 For I hear the slander of many;Fear is on every side;While they take counsel together against me,They scheme to take away my life.
14 But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord;I say, “You are my God.”
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 shine upon Your servant;Save me for Your mercies’ sake.
17 Do not let me be ashamed, O Lord, for I have called upon You;Let the wicked be ashamed;Let them be silent in the grave.
18 Let the lying lips be put to silence,Which speak insolent things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
19 Oh, how great is Your goodness,Which You have laid up for those who fear You,Which You have prepared for those who trust in YouIn the presence of the sons of men!
