18 May people that tell lies become silent.
    They insult righteous people.
They are proud people,
    and they boast about themselves.

19 You have prepared many good things
    to bless people who respect you.
While everyone watches,
    you bless those who come to you for help.
20 You give them a place to hide,
    and you keep them safe with you.
When their enemies want to attack them,
    you take care of them.
When their enemies speak lies against them,
    they are safe with you.

    from accusing tongues.
