Psalms 31:18 in Context — Psalms 31

16 Faz brilhar o teu rosto sobre teu servo; salva-me por tua bondade.

17 SENHOR, não me deixes envergonhado, pois eu clamo a ti; que os perversos se envergonhem e se calem no Xeol.

18 Emudeçam os lábios mentirosos, que falam coisas duras contra o justo, com arrogância e desprezo.

19 Como [é] grade a tua bondade, que guardaste para aqueles que te temem! Tu trabalhaste para os que confiam em ti, na presença dos filhos dos homens.

20 No esconderijo de tua presença tu os escondes das arrogâncias dos homens; em [tua] tenda tu os encobres da rivalidade das línguas.
