Psalms 31:23
21 Blessed be the LORD, for He has shown me His loving devotion in a city under siege.
22 In my alarm I said, “I am cut off from Your sight!” But You heard my plea for mercy when I called to You for help.
Love the LORD, all His saints. The LORD preserves the faithful, but fully repays the arrogant.
24 Be strong and courageous, all you who hope in the LORD.
