Psalms 31:18

Read in context

Psalms 31:16–20 · Berean Standard Bible

16 Make Your face shine on Your servant; save me by Your loving devotion.

17 O LORD, let me not be ashamed, for I have called on You. Let the wicked be put to shame; let them lie silent in Sheol.

18 May lying lips be silenced— lips that speak with arrogance against the righteous, full of pride and contempt.

19 How great is Your goodness which You have laid up for those who fear You, which You have bestowed before the sons of men on those who take refuge in You!

20 You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the schemes of men. You conceal them in Your shelter from accusing tongues.
