17 Let me not be (A)put to shame, Lord, for I call upon You;
Let the (B)wicked be put to shame, let them (C)be silent in [a]Sheol.
18 Let the (D)lying lips be speechless,
Which (E)speak arrogantly against the righteous
With pride and contempt.

19 How great is Your (F)goodness,
Which You have stored up for those who fear You,
Which You have performed for those who (G)take refuge in You,
(H)Before the sons of mankind!

17 Let me not be put to shame,(A) Lord,
    for I have cried out to you;
but let the wicked be put to shame
    and be silent(B) in the realm of the dead.
18 Let their lying lips(C) be silenced,
    for with pride and contempt
    they speak arrogantly(D) against the righteous.

19 How abundant are the good things(E)
    that you have stored up for those who fear you,
that you bestow in the sight of all,(F)
    on those who take refuge(G) in you.
