14 But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord;
I say, “You are my God.”

15 My times are in Your ^ahand;
Deliver me from the hand of my enemies,
And from those who persecute me. ‡

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. ‡

18 ^aLet the lying lips be put to silence,
Which ^bspeak insolent things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous. ‡
