Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.

Verse 16 is found in chapter 31 of Psalms. Psalm 31 combines trust, lament, and personal surrender in an extended prayer. God is rock, fortress, and refuge, while the psalmist describes illness, social rejection, and persecution. The surrender of his spirit expresses radical trust in divine hands. Toward the end, the individual experience becomes communal teaching: loving the Lord and taking courage means remaining firm because God preserves those who wait for him.

Meine Zeit steht in deinen Händen. Errette mich von der Hand meiner Feinde und von denen, die mich verfolgen.
Haz resplandecer tu rostro sobre tu siervo: Sálvame por tu misericordia.
Haz brillar tu rostro sobre tu siervo; sálvame por tu amor leal.
Fais luire ta face sur ton serviteur, Sauve-moi par ta grâce!
Fa’ risplendere il tuo volto sopra il tuo servitore; Salvami per la tua benignità.
Faze resplandecer o teu rosto sobre o teu servo; salva-me por tuas misericórdias.
求你使你的臉向僕人發光, 憑你的慈愛拯救我。
