Psalm 31:18

A Plea For Protection

¹⁷ O Yahweh, let me not be put to shame, for I call on you. Let the wicked be put to shame. Let them [go] silently to Sheol. ¹⁸ Let lying lips be dumb, that speak against [the] righteous unrestrained with arrogance and contempt. ¹⁹ How abundant [is] your goodness that you have stored up for [those who] fear you, that you perform for those who take refuge in you before [the] children of humankind.
