‏ Psalms 31:17-20

17 Let me not be ashamed, O Lord; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave. ^{▼▼ silent…: or, cut off for} 18 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous. ^{▼▼ grievous…: Heb. a hard thing} 19 Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men! 20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
