Psalm 31:16-18
New Catholic Bible
16 My life is in your hands;[a]
deliver me from the power of my enemies,
from the clutches of those who pursue me.
17 Let your face shine[b] upon your servant;
save me in your kindness.
18 [c]Do not let me be put to shame, O Lord,
for I have cried out to you.
Let the wicked be put to shame
and lie silent in the netherworld.
