20. You hide them in the shelter of your presence,safe from those who conspire against them.You shelter them in your presence,far from accusing tongues.
21. Praise the lord,for he has shown me the wonders of his unfailing love.He kept me safe when my city was under attack.
22. In panic I cried out,“I am cut off from the lord!”But you heard my cry for mercyand answered my call for help.
23. Love the lord, all you godly ones!For the lord protects those who are loyal to him,but he harshly punishes the arrogant.
24. So be strong and courageous,all you who put your hope in the lord!
