Psalm 31:21-23

Revised Standard Version

²¹ Blessed be the Lord,
    for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me
    when I was beset as in a besieged city.
²² I had said in my alarm,
    “I am driven far^[a] from thy sight.”
But thou didst hear my supplications,
    when I cried to thee for help.

²³ Love the Lord, all you his saints!
    The Lord preserves the faithful,
    but abundantly requites him who acts haughtily.
