Psalms

Psalm 31:19–20

¹⁹How great is Your goodness

which You have laid up for those who fear You,

which You have bestowed before the sons of men

on those who take refuge in You!

²⁰You hide them in the secret place of Your presence

from the schemes of men.

You conceal them in Your shelter

from accusing tongues.
