Psalm 31:21-23

Evangelical Heritage Version

²¹ Blessed be the Lord,
because he made his mercy wonderful for me
    when I was in a besieged city.
²² In my alarm I said, “I am cut off from before your eyes!”
But you heard the sound of my cry for mercy
    when I cried out to you.
²³ Love the Lord, all his favored ones!
The Lord preserves the faithful,
but he pays back in full the one who acts proudly.
