Psalms 31:17 in Context — Psalms 31
15 Mais en toi je me confie, ô Éternel! Je dis: Tu es mon Dieu!
16 Mes destinées sont dans ta main; Délivre-moi de mes ennemis et de mes persécuteurs!
17 Fais luire ta face sur ton serviteur, Sauve-moi par ta grâce!
18 Éternel, que je ne sois pas confondu quand je t’invoque. Que les méchants soient confondus, Qu’ils descendent en silence au séjour des morts!
19 Qu’elles deviennent muettes, les lèvres menteuses, Qui parlent avec audace contre le juste, Avec arrogance et dédain!
