Psalm 31:23

A Plea For Protection

²²
As for me, I said in my alarm,
“I am cut off from Your eyes.”
Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications (specific requests)
When I cried to You [for help]. ²³ 
O love the Lord, all you His godly ones!
The Lord preserves the faithful [those with moral and spiritual integrity]
And fully repays the [self-righteousness of the] arrogant.
²⁴
Be strong and let your hearts take courage,
All you who wait for and confidently expect the Lord.
