Psalms 31:18-22

Let the lying lips be speechless, Which speak arrogantly against the righteous With pride and contempt.

How great is Your goodness, Which You have stored up for those who fear You, Which You have performed for those who take refuge in You, Before the sons of mankind!

You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the conspiracies of mankind; You keep them secretly in a shelter from the strife of tongues.

Blessed be the Lord, For He has shown His marvelous faithfulness to me in a besieged city.

As for me, I said in my alarm, “I am cut off from Your eyes”; Nevertheless You heard the sound of my pleadings When I called to You for help.
