How great is your favor, which you store up for your loyal followers! In plain sight of everyone you bestow it on those who take shelter in you.

You hide them with you, where they are safe from the attacks of men; you conceal them in a shelter, where they are safe from slanderous attacks.

The LORD deserves praise for he demonstrated his amazing faithfulness to me when I was besieged by enemies.

I jumped to conclusions and said,“I am cut off from your presence!” But you heard my plea for mercy when I cried out to you for help.

Be strong and confident, all you who wait on the LORD!
