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!
21You will keep them safe in your house from the designs of man; in the secret of your tent will you keep them from angry tongues.
22May the Lord be praised, because he has made clear to me the wonder of his grace in a strong town.
23And as for me, I said in my fear, I am cut off from before your eyes; but you gave ear to the voice of my prayer, when my cry went up to you.
