Context of Psalms 31:19

17O Lord, do not let me be humiliated, for I call out to you! May evil men be humiliated! May they go wailing to the grave! 18May lying lips be silenced – lips that speak defiantly against the innocent with arrogance and contempt! How great is your favor, which you store up for your loyal followers! In plain sight of everyone you bestow it on those who take shelter in you. 20You hide them with you, where they are safe from the attacks of men; you conceal them in a shelter, where they are safe from slanderous attacks. 21The Lord deserves praise for he demonstrated his amazing faithfulness to me when I was besieged by enemies.

• 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. In few circumstances do people feel more grateful for the opportunity of appealing to God than when they are reviled and calumniated. As there is nothing which we feel more keenly than…Read the comment
