Psalm 31:21-23

Good News Translation

²¹ Praise the Lord!
How wonderfully he showed his love for me
    when I was surrounded and attacked!
²² I was afraid and thought
    that he had driven me out of his presence.
But he heard my cry,
    when I called to him for help.

²³ Love the Lord, all his faithful people.
The Lord protects the faithful,
    but punishes the proud as they deserve.
