Liturgy for Psalms 31:24

אֶֽהֱב֥וּ אֶת־יְהוָ֗ה כָּֽל־חֲסִ֫ידָ֥יו אֱ֭מוּנִים נֹצֵ֣ר יְהוָ֑ה וּמְשַׁלֵּ֥ם עַל־יֶ֝֗תֶר עֹשֵׂ֥ה גַאֲוָֽה׃

O love the LORD, all ye His godly ones; The LORD preserveth the faithful, And plentifully repayeth him that acteth haughtily.

Siddur Sefard

On seeing that it is so, Edom's guardian angel will think that Botzrah is a refuge like Betzer.29Betzer was one of the cities of refuge prescribed by the Torah. That an angel, like a man, is protected within it, and that the premeditated [killer] like the unpremeditated [killer] is held in the refuge.30The Talmud (Makos 12a) says that the guardian angel of Esau will make three mistakes in fleeing to Botzrah. All three are enumerated in this stanza. “Love Adonoy, all His pious ones, the faithful ones whom He preserves.”31Psalms 31:24.
