Psalm 31:18

A Plea For Protection

¹⁷ Lord, do not let me be disgraced when I call on You.
Let the wicked be disgraced;
let them be silent in Sheol.
¹⁸ Let lying lips be quieted;
they speak arrogantly against the righteous
with pride and contempt. ¹⁹ How great is Your goodness
that You have stored up for those who fear You
and accomplished in the sight of everyone
for those who take refuge in You.
