14. But I trusted in, relied on, and was confident in You, O Lord; I said, You are my God.
15. My times are in Your hands; deliver me from the hands of my foes and those who pursue me and persecute me.
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.
