Psalm 31:19-24

Common English Bible

¹⁹ How great is the goodness
    that you’ve reserved for those who honor you,
    that you commit to those who take refuge in you—
        in the sight of everyone!
²⁰ You hide them in the shelter of your wings,^[a]
    safe from human scheming.
    You conceal them in a shelter,
    safe from accusing tongues.

²¹ Bless the Lord,
    because he has wondrously revealed
    his faithful love to me
    when I was like a city under siege!
²² When I was panicked, I said,
    “I’m cut off from your eyes!”
But you heard my request for mercy
    when I cried out to you for help.

²³ All you who are faithful, love the Lord!
    The Lord protects those who are loyal,
        but he pays the proud back to the fullest degree.
²⁴ All you who wait for the Lord,
be strong and let your heart take courage.
