Psalm 31:16-18

The Voice

¹⁶ Look toward me, and let Your face shine down upon Your servant.
    Because of Your gracious love, save me!
¹⁷ Spare me shame, O Eternal One,
    for I turn and call to You.
Instead, let those who hate me be shamed;
    let death’s silence claim them.
¹⁸ Seal their lying lips forever,
    for with pride and contempt boiling in their hearts,
    they speak boldly against the righteous and persecute those who poured their trust into You.
