Read in context

Psalms 31:19–23 · Berean Standard Bible

19 How great is Your goodness which You have laid up for those who fear You, which You have bestowed before the sons of men on those who take refuge in You!

20 You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the schemes of men. You conceal them in Your shelter from accusing tongues.

21 Blessed be the LORD, for He has shown me His loving devotion in a city under siege.

22 In my alarm I said, “I am cut off from Your sight!” But You heard my plea for mercy when I called to You for help.

23 Love the LORD, all His saints. The LORD preserves the faithful, but fully repays the arrogant.
