20. In the secret place of Your presence You hide them from the plots of men; You keep them secretly in Your pavilion from the strife of tongues.
21. Blessed be the Lord! For He has shown me His marvelous loving favor when I was beset as in a besieged city.
22. As for me, I said in my haste and alarm, I am cut off from before Your eyes. But You heard the voice of my supplications when I cried to You for aid.
23. O love the Lord, all you His saints! The Lord preserves the faithful, and plentifully pays back him who deals haughtily.
24. Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for and hope for and expect the Lord!
