¹⁸ Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.

¹⁹ Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the sons of men!

KJVOh how great^H7227 is thy goodness^H2898, which thou hast laid up^H6845^(H8804) for them that fear^H3373 thee; which thou hast wrought^H6466^(H8804) for them that trust^H2620^(H8802) in thee before the sons^H1121 of men^H120!

²⁰ In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.

KJVThou shalt hide^H5641^(H8686) them in the secret^H5643 of thy presence^H6440 from the pride^H7407 of man^H376: thou shalt keep them secretly^H6845^(H8799) in a pavilion^H5521 from the strife^H7379 of tongues^H3956.

²¹ Praise be to Yahweh, for he has shown me his marvelous loving kindness in a strong city.
