14False statements against me have come to my ears; fear was on every side: they were talking together against me, designing to take away my life.
15But I had faith in you, O Lord; I said, You are my God.
16The chances of my life are in your hand; take me out of the hands of my haters, and of those who go after me.
17Let your servant see the light of your face; in your mercy be my saviour.
18Let me not be shamed, O Lord, for I have made my prayer to you; let the sinners be shamed, and let their mouths be shut in the underworld.
19Let the false lips be shut, which say evil against the upright, looking down on him in their pride.
20O how great is your grace, which you have put in store for your worshippers, and which you have made clear to those who had faith in you, before the sons of men!
