19 Oh, how abundant is your goodness,
    which you have stored up for those who fear you
and worked for those who take refuge in you,
    (A)in the sight of the children of mankind!
20 In (B)the cover of your presence you hide them
    from the plots of men;
you (C)store them in your shelter
    from the strife of tongues.

21 Blessed be the Lord,
    for he has wondrously (D)shown his steadfast love to me
    when I was in (E)a besieged city.
22 I had said in my (F)alarm,[a]
    “I am (G)cut off from (H)your sight.”
But you heard the voice of my pleas for mercy
    when I cried to you for help.

23 Love the Lord, all you his (I)saints!
    The Lord preserves the faithful
    but abundantly (J)repays the one who acts in pride.
24 (K)Be strong, and let your heart take courage,
    all you who wait for the Lord!
