Psalms 31:17 Context
15My times are in thy hand: deliuer me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me. 16Make thy face to shine vpon thy seruant: saue me for thy mercies sake. 17Let mee not be ashamed, O Lord, for I haue called vpon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the graue. 18Let the lying lippes be put to silence: which speake grieuous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous. 19O how great is thy goodnesse, which thou hast layd vp for them that feare thee: which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee, before the sonnes of men!
