Context of Psalms 31:19

17Lord, do not let me be disgraced when I call on you. Let the wicked be disgraced; let them be quiet in Sheol. 18Let lying lips that arrogantly speak against the righteous in proud contempt be silenced. How great is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you. In the presence of everyone you have acted for those who take refuge in you. 20You hide them in the protection of your presence; you conceal them in a shelter from human schemes, from quarrelsome tongues. 21Blessed be the Lord, for he has wondrously shown his faithful love to me in a city under siege.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 19Oh how great is thy goodness - That is, in view of the divine protection and favor in such cases, or when thus assailed. The psalmist seems to have felt that it was an inexpressible privilege thus to be permitted to appeal to God with the assurance of the divine protection.

As there is nothing which we feel more keenly than…Read the comment
