Psalms 31:18 in Context — Psalms 31
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!
20 Oh! Combien est grande ta bonté, Que tu tiens en réserve pour ceux qui te craignent, Que tu témoignes à ceux qui cherchent en toi leur refuge, A la vue des fils de l’homme!
