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.

Verse 17 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.

Laß leuchten dein Antlitz über deinen Knecht; hilf mir durch deine Güte!
No sea yo confundido, oh Jehová, ya que te he invocado; Sean corridos los impíos, estén mudos en el profundo.
Jehová, que no sea avergonzado, porque te he invocado. Que sean avergonzados los malvados y queden en silencio en el Seol.
Eternel, que je ne sois pas confondu quand je t'invoque. Que les méchants soient confondus, Qu'ils descendent en silence au séjour des morts!
O Signore, fa’ che io non sia confuso; perciocchè io t’invoco; Sieno confusi gli empi; Abbian la bocca turata, e sieno posti nel sepolcro.
Não me deixes confundido, SENHOR, porque te tenho invocado. Deixa confundidos os ímpios, e emudeçam na sepultura.
耶和華啊,求你叫我不致羞愧, 因為我曾呼求你; 求你使惡人羞愧, 使他們在陰間緘默無聲。
