17 Lord, I am praying to you.
    Don’t let me be disappointed.
The wicked are the ones who should be disappointed.
    Let them go to the grave in silence.
18 Those evil people brag
    and tell lies about those who do right.
They are so proud now,
    but their lying lips will be silent.

19 Lord, you have hidden away many wonderful things for your followers.
    You have done so many good things for those who trust in you.
    You have blessed them so that all the world can see.

    for with pride and contempt
    they speak arrogantly(D) against the righteous.

19 How abundant are the good things(E)
    that you have stored up for those who fear you,
that you bestow in the sight of all,(F)
    on those who take refuge(G) in you.
