21 Blessed be the Lord,
For (A)He has shown me His marvelous kindness in a [a]strong city!
22 For I said in my haste,
“I am cut off from before Your eyes”;
Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications
When I cried out to You.

23 Oh, love the Lord, all you His saints!
For the Lord preserves the faithful,
And fully repays the proud person.
24 (B)Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart,
All you who hope in the Lord.

  1. Psalm 31:21 fortified

21 Praise be to the Lord,(A)
    for he showed me the wonders of his love(B)
    when I was in a city under siege.(C)
22 In my alarm(D) I said,
    “I am cut off(E) from your sight!”
Yet you heard my cry(F) for mercy
    when I called to you for help.

23 Love the Lord, all his faithful people!(G)
    The Lord preserves those who are true to him,(H)
    but the proud he pays back(I) in full.
24 Be strong and take heart,(J)
    all you who hope in the Lord.
