Psalm 31:21-23

New Century Version

²¹ Praise the Lord.
    His love to me was wonderful
    when my city was attacked.
²² In my distress, I said,
    “God cannot see me!”
But you heard my prayer
    when I cried out to you for help.
²³ Love the Lord, all you who belong to him.
    The Lord protects those who truly believe,
    but he punishes the proud as much as they have sinned.
