Context of Psalms 31:19

17O Lord, let me not be put to shame, for I call upon you; let the wicked be put to shame; let them go silently to Sheol. 18Let the lying lips be mute, which speak insolently against the righteous in pride and contempt. Oh, how abundant is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you and worked for those who take refuge in you, in the sight of the children of mankind! 20In the cover of your presence you hide them from the plots of men; you store them in your shelter from the strife of tongues. 21Blessed be the Lord, for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me when I was in a besieged city.

• 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.

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