16 ^aMake Your face shine upon Your servant;
Save me for Your mercies’ sake. ‡

17 ^aDo not let me be ashamed, O Lord, for I have called upon You;
Let the wicked be ashamed;
^bLet them be silent in the grave. ‡

19 ^aOh, how great is Your goodness,
Which You have laid up for those who fear You,
Which You have prepared for those who trust in You
In the presence of the sons of men! ‡

20 ^aYou shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence
From the plots of man;
^bYou shall keep them secretly in a¹ pavilion
From the strife of tongues. ‡
