Security

19 How great is Your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear You, which You bestow in the sight of men on those who take refuge in You.

20 In the shelter of Your presence You hide them from the intrigues of men; in Your dwelling You keep them safe from accusing tongues.

21 Praise be to the LORD, for He showed His wonderful love to me when I was in a besieged city.

22 In my alarm I said, "I am cut off from your sight!" Yet You heard my cry for mercy when I called to You for help.

23 Love the LORD, all His saints! The LORD preserves the faithful, but the proud He pays back in full.

24 Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.

-Psalm 31:19-24
