Psalms 31:18-22 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

18. With pride and hatredthey speak against the righteous.So shut their lying lips.

19. How great is your goodness!You have stored it up for those who fear you.You do good things for those who trust you.You do this for all to see.

20. You protect them by your presencefrom what people plan against them.You keep them safe in your shelterfrom evil words.

21. Praise the Lord.His love to me was wonderfulwhen my city was attacked.

22. In my distress, I said,“God cannot see me!”But you heard my prayerwhen I cried out to you for help.
