Psalm 31:22

A Plea For Protection

²¹ Blessed be the Lord,
For He has made marvelous His lovingkindness to me in a besieged city.
²² As for me, I said in my alarm,
“I am cut off from before Your eyes”;
Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications
When I cried to You.
²³ O love the Lord, all you His godly ones!
The Lord preserves the faithful
And fully recompenses the proud doer.
