14. But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou [art] my God. 15. My times [are] in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me. 16. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies’ sake. 17. Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, [and] let them be silent in the grave. 18. Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

I trusted. Verses 14–18 are an expression of great trust, in which, despite the anguish expressed in vs. 9–13, the psalmist says, “Thou art my God.” This is the triumph of faith.
