Psalm 31:19-24
Holman Christian Standard Bible
19 How great is Your goodness
that You have stored up for those who fear You
and accomplished in the sight of everyone
for those who take refuge in You.(A)
20 You hide them in the protection of Your presence;
You conceal them in a shelter[a]
from the schemes of men,
from quarrelsome tongues.(B)
21 May the Lord be praised,
for He has wonderfully shown His faithful love to me
in a city under siege.[b](C)
22 In my alarm I had said,
“I am cut off from Your sight.”(D)
But You heard the sound of my pleading
when I cried to You for help.(E)
23 Love the Lord, all His faithful ones.(F)
The Lord protects the loyal,
but fully repays the arrogant.(G)
24 Be strong[c] and courageous,
all you who put your hope in the Lord.(H)
