Psalm 31:22-24

Expanded Bible

²² In my ·distress [alarm], I said,
    “·God cannot see me [^LI am cut off from your eyes]!”
But you heard my ·prayer [supplication]
    when I cried out to you for help.
²³ Love the Lord, all you ·who belong to him [loyal ones; saints].
    The Lord protects those who ·truly believe [are faithful],
    but he ·punishes [repays] ·the proud as much as they have sinned [^Lthose who act with pride].
²⁴ All you who ·put your hope in [wait for] the Lord
    be strong and ·brave [^Llet your heart be courageous].
