²¹ Give praise to the Lord.
    He showed me his wonderful love
    when my enemies attacked the city I was in.
²² I was afraid and said,
    “I’ve been cut off from you!”
But you heard my cry for your favor.
    You heard me when I called out to you for help.

²³ Love the Lord, all you who are faithful to him!
    The Lord keeps safe those who are faithful to him.
    But he completely pays back those who are proud.
