19 How abundant are the good things

that you have stored up for those who fear you,

that you bestow in the sight of all,

on those who take refuge in you.

20 In the shelter of your presence you hide them

from all human intrigues;

you keep them safe in your dwelling

from accusing tongues.

21 Praise be to the Lord,

for he showed me the wonders of his love

when I was in a city under siege.

22 In my alarm I said,

“I am cut off from your sight!”

Yet you heard my cry for mercy

when I called to you for help.

23 Love the Lord, all his faithful people!

The Lord preserves those who are true to him,

but the proud he pays back in full.

24 Be strong and take heart,

all you who hope in the Lord.

19 Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee;

Which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee

Before the sons of men!

20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man:

Thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

21 Blessed be the Lord: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.

22 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes:

Nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.

23 O love the Lord, all ye his saints:

For the Lord preserveth the faithful,

And plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.

24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart,

All ye that hope in the Lord.

19 How great is the goodness

you have stored up for those who fear you.

You lavish it on those who come to you for protection,

blessing them before the watching world.

20 You hide them in the shelter of your presence,

safe from those who conspire against them.

You shelter them in your presence,

far from accusing tongues.

21 Praise the Lord,

for he has shown me the wonders of his unfailing love.

He kept me safe when my city was under attack.

22 In panic I cried out,

“I am cut off from the Lord!”

But you heard my cry for mercy

and answered my call for help.

23 Love the Lord, all you godly ones!

For the Lord protects those who are loyal to him,

but he harshly punishes the arrogant.

24 So be strong and courageous,

all you who put your hope in the Lord!

19 Oh, how great is Your goodness,

Which You have laid up for those who fear You,

Which You have prepared for those who trust in You

In the presence of the sons of men!

20 You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence

From the plots of man;

You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion

From the strife of tongues.

21 Blessed be the Lord,

For He has shown me His marvelous kindness in a strong city!

22 For I said in my haste,

“I am cut off from before Your eyes”;

Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications

When I cried out to You.

23 Oh, love the Lord, all you His saints!

For the Lord preserves the faithful,

And fully repays the proud person.

24 Be of good courage,

And He shall strengthen your heart,

All you who hope in the Lord.

19 How great is your goodness

that you have stored up for those who fear you,

that you have given to those who trust you.

You do this for all to see.

20 You protect them by your presence

from what people plan against them.

You shelter them from evil words.

21 Praise the Lord.

His love to me was wonderful

when my city was attacked.

22 In my distress, I said,

“God cannot see me!”

But you heard my prayer

when I cried out to you for help.

23 Love the Lord, all you who belong to him.

The Lord protects those who truly believe,

but he punishes the proud as much as they have sinned.

24 All you who put your hope in the Lord

be strong and brave.

19 Oh how great is thy goodness,

Which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee,

Which thou hast wrought for them that take refuge in thee,

Before the sons of men!

20 In the covert of thy presence wilt thou hide them from the plottings of man:

Thou wilt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

21 Blessed be Jehovah;

For he hath showed me his marvellous lovingkindness in a strong city.

22 As for me, I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes:

Nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications,

When I cried unto thee.

23 Oh love Jehovah, all ye his saints:

Jehovah preserveth the faithful,

And plentifully rewardeth him that dealeth proudly.

24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage,

All ye that hope in Jehovah.

19 Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee, before the sons of men! 20 Thou keepest them concealed in the secret of thy presence from the conspiracies of man; thou hidest them in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. 21 Blessed be Jehovah; for he hath shewn me wondrously his loving-kindness in a strong city. 22 As for me, I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes; nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee. 23 Love Jehovah, all ye his saints. Jehovah preserveth the faithful, and plentifully requiteth the proud doer. 24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all ye that hope in Jehovah.

19 Your kindness is so great! 

You reserve it for those who fear you. 

Adam’s descendants watch 

as you show it to those who take refuge in you. 

20 You hide them in the secret place of your presence 

from those who scheme against them. 

You keep them in a shelter, 

safe from quarrelsome tongues. 

21 Thank the Lord! 

He has shown me the miracle of his mercy 

in a city under attack. 

22 When I was panic-stricken, I said, 

“I have been cut off from your sight.” 

But you heard my pleas for mercy when I cried out to you for help. 

23 Love the Lord, all you godly ones! 

The Lord protects faithful people, 

but he pays back in full those who act arrogantly. 

24 Be strong, all who wait with hope for the Lord, 

and let your heart be courageous. 

19 How great is Your goodness

that You have stored up for those who fear You

and accomplished in the sight of everyone

for those who take refuge in You.

20 You hide them in the protection of Your presence;

You conceal them in a shelter

from the schemes of men,

from quarrelsome tongues.

21 May the Lord be praised,

for He has wonderfully shown His faithful love to me

in a city under siege.

22 In my alarm I had said,

“I am cut off from Your sight.”

But You heard the sound of my pleading

when I cried to You for help.

23 Love the Lord, all His faithful ones.

The Lord protects the loyal,

but fully repays the arrogant.

24 Be strong and courageous,

all you who put your hope in the Lord.

19 O how abundant is your goodness

that you have laid up for those who fear you,

and accomplished for those who take refuge in you,

in the sight of everyone!

20 In the shelter of your presence you hide them

from human plots;

you hold them safe under your shelter

from contentious tongues.

21 Blessed be the Lord,

for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me

when I was beset as a city under siege.

22 I had said in my alarm,

“I am driven far from your sight.”

But you heard my supplications

when I cried out to you for help.

23 Love the Lord, all you his saints.

The Lord preserves the faithful,

but abundantly repays the one who acts haughtily.

24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage,

all you who wait for the Lord.

from the plots of man.

You will hide them in a shelter from the strife of tongues.

21 Blessed is Yahweh,

because he has worked marvelously his loyal love to me

in a besieged city.

22 As for me, I said in my alarm,

“I am cut off from before your eyes.”

However you heard the voice of my supplications

when I cried to you for help.

23 Love Yahweh, all you his faithful ones.

Yahweh preserves the faithful

but repays abundantly the one who acts arrogantly.

24 Be strong and let your heart show strength,

all you who wait for Yahweh.

19 How great your goodness is!

You have stored it up for those who have respect for you.

While other people watch, you give it to those who run to you for safety.

20 They are safe because you are with them.

You hide them from the evil plans of their enemies.

In your house you keep them safe

from those who bring charges against them.

21 Give praise to the Lord.

He showed me his wonderful love

when my enemies attacked the city I was in.

22 I was afraid and said,

“I’ve been cut off from you!”

But you heard my cry for your favor.

You heard me when I called out to you for help.

23 Love the Lord, all of you who are faithful to him!

The Lord watches over the faithful.

But he completely pays back those who are proud.

24 Be strong, all of you who put your hope in the Lord.

Never give up.

And fully recompenses the proud doer.
