Let me not be putto shame,O LORD,for I callupon You; Let the wickedbe putto shame,let them be silentin Sheol.
The deaddo not praisethe LORD,Nor[do] anywho godowninto silence;
In You, O LORD,I have takenrefuge;Let me neverbe ashamed;In Your righteousnessdeliverme.
They lookedto Him and were radiant,And their faceswill neverbe ashamed.
Let those be ashamedand humiliatedaltogetherwho rejoiceat my distress;Let those be clothedwith shameand dishonorwho magnifythemselves overme.
Let those be ashamedand dishonoredwho seekmy life;Let those be turnedbackand humiliatedwho deviseevilagainst me.
You have putgladnessin my heart,Morethanwhentheir grainand newwineabound.
Allmy enemieswill be ashamedand greatlydismayed;They shall turnback,they will suddenlybe ashamed.
My tonguealsowill utterYour righteousnessalldaylong; For they are ashamed,for they are humiliatedwho seekmy hurt.
O LORDGod[of] hosts,Howlongwill You be angrywith the prayerof Your people?
You removeda vinefrom Egypt;You droveout the nationsand plantedit.
Ifthe LORDhad not beenmy help,My soulwould soonhave dweltin [the abode of] silence.
But the LORDis with me like a dreadchampion;Thereforemy persecutorswill stumbleand not prevail.They will be utterlyashamed,becausethey have failed,With an everlastingdisgracethat will not be forgotten.
"Manyof those whosleepin the dustof the groundwill awake,theseto everlastinglife,but the othersto disgrace[and] everlastingcontempt.
"He keepsthe feetof His godlyones,But the wickedonesare silencedin darkness;For not by mightshall a manprevail.
