Psalm 31:19-24

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁹ O how abundant is your goodness
    that you have laid up for those who fear you,
and accomplished for those who take refuge in you,
    in the sight of everyone!
²⁰ In the shelter of your presence you hide them
    from human plots;
you hold them safe under your shelter
    from contentious tongues.

²¹ Blessed be the Lord,
    for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me
    when I was beset as a city under siege.
²² I had said in my alarm,
    “I am driven far^[a] from your sight.”
But you heard my supplications
    when I cried out to you for help.

²³ Love the Lord, all you his saints.
    The Lord preserves the faithful,
    but abundantly repays the one who acts haughtily.
²⁴ Be strong, and let your heart take courage,
    all you who wait for the Lord.
