Psalm 31:16-18

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁶ Let Your face shine on Your servant; save me for Your mercy’s sake and in Your loving-kindness.

¹⁷ Let me not be put to shame, O Lord, or disappointed, for I am calling upon You; let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol (the place of the dead).

¹⁸ Let the lying lips be silenced, which speak insolently against the [consistently] righteous with pride and contempt.
