Psalms 31:18-23

¹⁸(31-19) Let the lying lips be dumb, which speak arrogantly against the righteous, with pride and contempt.

¹⁹(31-20) Oh how abundant is Thy goodness, which Thou hast laid up for them that fear Thee; which Thou hast wrought for them that take their refuge in Thee, in the sight of the sons of men!

²⁰(31-21) Thou hidest them in the covert of Thy presence from the plottings of man; Thou concealest them in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

²¹(31-22) Blessed be the LORD; for He hath shown me His wondrous lovingkindness in an entrenched city.

²²(31-23) As for me, I said in my haste: 'I am cut off from before Thine eyes'; nevertheless Thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto Thee.

²³(31-24) O love the LORD, all ye His godly ones; the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully repayeth him that acteth haughtily.
