²⁹ For when they are humbled you say, ‘It is because of pride’;^[a]
    but he saves ^(A)the lowly.

^52 (A)he has brought down the mighty from their thrones
    ^(B)and exalted those of humble estate;

¹⁹ He will ^(A)deliver you from six troubles;
    in seven no ^(B)evil^[a] shall touch you.
^20 (C)In famine he will redeem you from death,
    and in war from the power of the sword.
²¹ You shall be ^(D)hidden from the lash of the tongue,
    and shall not fear destruction when it comes.
²² At destruction and famine you shall laugh,
    and shall not fear ^(E)the beasts of the earth.
²³ For you shall be in league with the stones of the field,
    and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.
²⁴ You shall know that your ^(F)tent is at peace,
    and you shall inspect your fold and miss nothing.
²⁵ You shall know also that your ^(G)offspring shall be many,
    and your descendants as ^(H)the grass of the earth.
²⁶ You shall come to your grave in ^(I)ripe old age,
    like a sheaf gathered up in its season.
²⁷ Behold, this we have ^(J)searched out; it is true.
    Hear, and know it for your good.”^[b]

^2 (A)All these things my hand has made,
    and so all these things came to be,
declares the Lord.
^(B)But this is the one to whom I will look:
    he who is humble and contrite in spirit
    and trembles at my word.

¹⁵ For thus says ^(A)the One who is high and lifted up,
    who inhabits eternity, whose name is ^(B)Holy:
^(C)“I dwell in the high and holy place,
    and also ^(D)with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit,
^(E)to revive the spirit of the lowly,
    and to revive the heart of the contrite.
