15 But
aHe saves the needy from the sword,
From the mouth of the mighty,
And from their hand.
16 aSo the poor have hope,
And injustice shuts her mouth.
17 “Behold,
a happy
is the man whom God corrects;
Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.
18 aFor He bruises, but He binds up;
He wounds, but His hands make whole.
19 aHe shall deliver you in six troubles,
Yes, in seven
bno evil shall touch you.
20 aIn famine He shall redeem you from death,
And in war from the
1 power of the sword.
