18 Let the (A)lying lips be speechless,
Which (B)speak arrogantly against the righteous
With pride and contempt.

19 How great is Your (C)goodness,
Which You have stored up for those who fear You,
Which You have performed for those who (D)take refuge in You,
(E)Before the sons of mankind!
20 You hide them in the (F)secret place of Your presence from the (G)conspiracies of mankind;
You keep them secretly in a [a]shelter from the (H)strife of tongues.
