19 (A)Oh, how great is Your goodness,
Which You have laid up for those who fear You,
Which You have prepared for those who trust in You
In the presence of the sons of men!
20 (B)You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence
From the plots of man;
(C)You shall keep them secretly in a [a]pavilion
From the strife of tongues.

21 Blessed be the Lord,
For (D)He has shown me His marvelous kindness in a [b]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 (E)Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart,
All you who hope in the Lord.
