Psalm 31:20-22

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²⁰In the shelter of your presence you hide them
from human plots;
you hold them safe under your shelter
from contentious tongues.^(A)

²¹Blessed be the Lord,
    for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me
    when I was beset as a city under siege.^(B)
²²I had said in my alarm,
    “I am driven far^[a] from your sight.”
But you heard my supplications
    when I cried out to you for help.^(C)
