17 Let me not be put to shame, Lord,

for I have cried out to you;

but let the wicked be put to shame

and be silent in the realm of the dead.

18 Let their lying lips be silenced,

for with pride and contempt

they speak arrogantly against the righteous.

17 Let me not be ashamed, O Lord; for I have called upon thee:

Let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.

18 Let the lying lips be put to silence;

Which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

17 Don’t let me be disgraced, O Lord,

for I call out to you for help.

Let the wicked be disgraced;

let them lie silent in the grave.

18 Silence their lying lips—

those proud and arrogant lips that accuse the godly.

17 Do not let me be ashamed, O Lord, for I have called upon You;

Let the wicked be ashamed;

Let them be silent in the grave.

18 Let the lying lips be put to silence,

Which speak insolent things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

17 Lord, I called to you,

so do not let me be disgraced.

Let the wicked be disgraced

and lie silent in the grave.

18 With pride and hatred

they speak against those who do right.

So silence their lying lips.

17 Let me not be put to shame, O Jehovah; for I have called upon thee:

Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol.

18 Let the lying lips be dumb,

Which speak against the righteous insolently,

With pride and contempt.

17 Jehovah, let me not be ashamed; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, let them be silent in Sheol. 18 Let the lying lips become dumb, which speak insolently against the righteous in pride and contempt.

17 O Lord, I have called on you, so do not let me be put to shame, 

Let wicked people be put to shame. 

Let them be silent in the grave. 

18 Let ⸤their⸥ lying lips be speechless, 

since they speak against righteous people with arrogance and contempt. 

17 Lord, do not let me be disgraced when I call on You.

Let the wicked be disgraced;

let them be silent in Sheol.

18 Let lying lips be quieted;

they speak arrogantly against the righteous

with pride and contempt.

17 Do not let me be put to shame, O Lord,

for I call on you;

let the wicked be put to shame;

let them go dumbfounded to Sheol.

18 Let the lying lips be stilled

that speak insolently against the righteous

with pride and contempt.

17 O Yahweh, let me not be put to shame, for I call on you.

Let the wicked be put to shame.

Let them go silently to Sheol.

18 Let lying lips be dumb,

that speak against the righteous unrestrained

with arrogance and contempt.

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 grave.

18 Their lips tell lies. Let them be silenced.

They speak with pride against those who do right.

They make fun of them.

17 Let me not be put to shame, O Lord, for I call upon You;

Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol.

18 Let the lying lips be mute,

Which speak arrogantly against the righteous

With pride and contempt.
