Bible verse
Make Your face shine on Your servant; save me by Your loving devotion.
Psalm 31:16 · BSB
The verses around it, from Psalm 31.
12 I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind. I am like a broken vessel.
13 For I hear the slander of many; there is terror on every side. They conspire against me and plot to take my life.
14 But I trust in You, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.”
15 My times are in Your hands; deliver me from my enemies and from those who pursue me.
16 Make Your face shine on Your servant; save me by Your loving devotion.
17 O LORD, let me not be ashamed, for I have called on You. Let the wicked be put to shame; let them lie silent in Sheol.
18 May lying lips be silenced—lips that speak with arrogance against the righteous, full of pride and contempt.
19 How great is Your goodness which You have laid up for those who fear You, which You have bestowed before the sons of men on those who take refuge in You!
20 You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the schemes of men. You conceal them in Your shelter from accusing tongues.
