Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

Verse 18 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.

HERR, laß mich nicht zu Schanden werden; denn ich rufe dich an. Die Gottlosen müssen zu Schanden werden und schweigen in der Hölle.
Enmudezcan los labios mentirosos, Que hablan contra el justo cosas duras, Con soberbia y menosprecio.
Que enmudezcan los labios mentirosos, que hablan con arrogancia contra el justo, con orgullo y desprecio.
Qu'elles deviennent muettes, les lèvres menteuses, Qui parlent avec audace contre le juste, Avec arrogance et dédain!
Ammutoliscano le labbra bugiarde, Le quali parlano duramente contro al giusto, Con alterezza, e con isprezzo
Emudeçam os lábios mentirosos que falam coisas más com soberba e desprezo contra o justo.
那撒謊的人逞驕傲輕慢, 出狂妄的話攻擊義人, 願他的嘴啞而無言。
