18. Silence those liars —all the proud and arrogantwho speak with contempt about the righteous.
19. How wonderful are the good thingsyou keep for those who honour you!Everyone knows how good you are,how securely you protect those who trust you.
20. You hide them in the safety of your presencefrom the plots of others;in a safe shelter you hide themfrom the insults of their enemies.
21. Praise the Lord!How wonderfully he showed his love for mewhen I was surrounded and attacked!
22. I was afraid and thoughtthat he had driven me out of his presence.But he heard my cry,when I called to him for help.
23. Love the Lord, all his faithful people.The Lord protects the faithful,but punishes the proud as they deserve.
24. Be strong, be courageous,all you that hope in the Lord.
