16Make Your face to shine upon Your servant;
         Save me in Your lovingkindness.

17Let me not be put to shame, O LORD, for I call upon You;
         Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol.

18Let the lying lips be mute,
         Which speak arrogantly against the righteous
         With pride and contempt.

19How great is Your goodness,
         Which You have stored up for those who fear You,
         Which You have wrought for those who take refuge in You,
         Before the sons of men!

20You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the conspiracies of man;
         You keep them secretly in a shelter from the strife of tongues.

21Blessed be the LORD,
         For He has made marvelous His lovingkindness to me in a besieged city.

22As for me, I said in my alarm,
         “I am cut off from before Your eyes”;
         Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications
         When I cried to You.

23O love the LORD, all you His godly ones!
         The LORD preserves the faithful
         And fully recompenses the proud doer.

24Be strong and let your heart take courage,
         All you who hope in the LORD.
