16 May your face shine on your servant;
    in your gracious love, deliver me.
17 Let me not be ashamed, Lord,
    for I have called upon you.
Let the wicked be put to shame,
    let them be silent in the next life.[a]
18 Let the lying lips be made still,
    especially those who speak arrogantly
        against the righteous with pride and contempt.
