Psalm 31:18-20
Common English Bible
18 Let their lying lips be shut up
whenever they speak arrogantly
against the righteous with pride and contempt!
19 How great is the goodness
that you’ve reserved for those who honor you,
that you commit to those who take refuge in you—
in the sight of everyone!
20 You hide them in the shelter of your wings,[a]
safe from human scheming.
You conceal them in a shelter,
safe from accusing tongues.
