Psalm 31:19

A Plea For Protection

¹⁸
Let the lying lips be mute,
Which speak insolently and arrogantly against the [consistently] righteous
With pride and contempt. ¹⁹ 
How great is Your goodness,
Which You have stored up for those who [reverently] fear You,
Which You have prepared for those who take refuge in You,
Before the sons of man!
²⁰
In the secret place of Your presence You hide them from the plots and conspiracies of man;
You keep them secretly in a shelter (pavilion) from the strife of tongues.

Sons of Men

Take Refuge in Thee

Children Of Men

Take Refuge In Thee

Take Refuge In You

Trust In You
