17 The righteous cry out, and
athe
Lord hears,
And delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 aThe
Lord is near
bto those who have a broken heart,
And saves such as
1 have a contrite spirit.
19 aMany
are the afflictions of the righteous,
bBut the
Lord delivers him out of them all.
20 He guards all his bones;
aNot one of them is broken.
21 aEvil shall slay the wicked,
And those who hate the righteous shall be
1 condemned.
22 The
Lord aredeems the soul of His servants,
And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.
