16Cause Thy face to shine on Thy servant, Save me in Thy kindness.
17O Jehovah, let me not be ashamed, For I have called Thee, let the wicked be ashamed, Let them become silent to Sheol.
18Let lips of falsehood become dumb, That are speaking against the righteous, Ancient sayings, in pride and contempt.
19How abundant is Thy goodness, That Thou hast laid up for those fearing Thee,
20Thou hast wrought for those trusting in Thee, Before sons of men. Thou hidest them in the secret place of Thy presence, From artifices of man, Thou concealest them in a tabernacle, From the strife of tongues.
21Blessed [is] Jehovah, For He hath made marvellous His kindness To me in a city of bulwarks.
22And I -- I have said in my haste, `I have been cut off from before Thine eyes,` But Thou hast heard the voice of my supplications, In my crying unto Thee.
