13 “So commit yourself to God completely.
    Reach out your hands to him for help.
14 Get rid of all the sin you have.
    Don’t let anything that is evil stay in your tent.
15 Then, free of those things, you can face others.
    You can stand firm without being afraid.
16 You can be sure you will forget your troubles.
    They will be like water that has flowed on by.
17 Life will be brighter than the sun at noon.
    And darkness will become like morning.
18 You will be secure, because there is hope.
    You will look around you and find a safe place to rest.
19 You will lie down, and no one will make you afraid.
    Many people will want you to help them.
20 But sinful people won’t find what they are looking for.
    They won’t be able to escape.
    All they can hope for is to die.”
