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.

19 How abundant are the good things

that you have stored up for those who fear you,

that you bestow in the sight of all,

on those who take refuge in you.

20 In the shelter of your presence you hide them

from all human intrigues;

you keep them safe in your dwelling

from accusing tongues.

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

for I call upon you;

let the wicked be put to shame;

let them go silently to Sheol.

18 Let the lying lips be mute,

which speak insolently against the righteous

in pride and contempt.

19 Oh, how abundant is your goodness,

which you have stored up for those who fear you

and worked for those who take refuge in you,

in the sight of the children of mankind!

20 In the cover of your presence you hide them

from the plots of men;

you store them in your shelter

from the strife of tongues.

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.

19 Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee;

Which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee

Before the sons of men!

20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man:

Thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

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.

19 How great is the goodness

you have stored up for those who fear you.

You lavish it on those who come to you for protection,

blessing them before the watching world.

20 You hide them in the shelter of your presence,

safe from those who conspire against them.

You shelter them in your presence,

far from accusing tongues.

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.

19 Oh, how great is Your goodness,

Which You have laid up for those who fear You,

Which You have prepared for those who trust in You

In the presence of the sons of men!

20 You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence

From the plots of man;

You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion

From the strife of tongues.

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.

19 How great is your goodness

that you have stored up for those who fear you,

that you have given to those who trust you.

You do this for all to see.

20 You protect them by your presence

from what people plan against them.

You shelter them from evil words.

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.

19 Oh how great is thy goodness,

Which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee,

Which thou hast wrought for them that take refuge in thee,

Before the sons of men!

20 In the covert of thy presence wilt thou hide them from the plottings of man:

Thou wilt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

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.

19 Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee, before the sons of men! 20 Thou keepest them concealed in the secret of thy presence from the conspiracies of man; thou hidest them in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

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. 

19 Your kindness is so great! 

You reserve it for those who fear you. 

Adam’s descendants watch 

as you show it to those who take refuge in you. 

20 You hide them in the secret place of your presence 

from those who scheme against them. 

You keep them in a shelter, 

safe from quarrelsome tongues. 

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.

19 How great is Your goodness

that You have stored up for those who fear You

and accomplished in the sight of everyone

for those who take refuge in You.

20 You hide them in the protection of Your presence;

You conceal them in a shelter

from the schemes of men,

from quarrelsome tongues.

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.

19 O how abundant is your goodness

that you have laid up for those who fear you,

and accomplished for those who take refuge in you,

in the sight of everyone!

20 In the shelter of your presence you hide them

from human plots;

you hold them safe under your shelter

from contentious tongues.

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.

19 How abundant is your goodness

that you have stored up for those who fear you,

that you perform for those who take refuge in you

before the children of humankind.

20 You will hide them in the protection of your presence

from the plots of man.

You will hide them in a shelter from the strife of tongues.

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.

19 How great your goodness is!

You have stored it up for those who have respect for you.

While other people watch, you give it to those who run to you for safety.

20 They are safe because you are with them.

You hide them from the evil plans of their enemies.

In your house you keep them safe

from those who bring charges against them.
