17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth them, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

18 The Lord is near unto them that are of a [a]contrite heart, and will save such as be afflicted in spirit.

19 Great are the troubles of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.

20 [b]He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

21 But malice shall slay the [c]wicked: and they that hate the righteous, shall perish.

22 The Lord [d]redeemeth the souls of his servants: and none that trust in him, shall perish.
