¹⁵My times are in your hand;
   deliver me from the hand of my enemies and persecutors.
¹⁶Let your face shine upon your servant;
   save me in your steadfast love.
¹⁷Do not let me be put to shame, O Lord,
   for I call on you;
let the wicked be put to shame;
   let them go dumbfounded to Sheol.
¹⁸Let the lying lips be stilled
   that speak insolently against the righteous
   with pride and contempt.

¹⁹O how abundant is your goodness
   that you have laid up for those who fear you,
and accomplished for those who take refuge in you,
   in the sight of everyone!
²⁰In the shelter of your presence you hide them
   from human plots;
you hold them safe under your shelter
   from contentious tongues.

²¹Blessed be the Lord,
   for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me
   when I was beset as a city under siege.
²²I had said in my alarm,
   ‘I am driven far^* from your sight.’
But you heard my supplications
   when I cried out to you for help.

²³Love the Lord, all you his saints.
   The Lord preserves the faithful,
   but abundantly repays the one who acts haughtily.
²⁴Be strong, and let your heart take courage,
   all you who wait for the Lord.
