15 My times are in thy hand and will: [Do thou] save and deliver me From their hands who mine enemies And [causeless] persecutors be.
16 On thine afflicted servant, Lord, Make thou thy [pleased] face to shine; And save me for that mercies sake Which thou dost [freely] show to thine.
16 On thine afflicted servant, Lord, Make thou thy [pleased] face to shine; And save me for that mercies sake Which thou dost [freely] shew to thine.
17 Let me not be ashamed, O Lord, For I did [trust and] call on thee: Let wicked men be shamed, cut off, In their graves [silent] let them be.
17 Let me not be asham'd, O Lord, For I did [trust and] call on thee: Let wicked men be sham'd, cut off, In their graves [silent] let them be.
18 To silence put the lying lips, Which grievous things [and false] do say; And hard reports in pride and scorn On righteous men do [falsely] lay.
