Psalm 31:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ May you look on me with favor.
    Save me because your love is faithful.
¹⁷ Lord, I have cried out to you.
    Don’t let me be put to shame.
But let sinners be put to shame.
    Let them lie silent in the place of the dead.
¹⁸ Their lips tell lies. Let them be silenced.
    They speak with pride against those who do right.
    They make fun of them.
