10 If you falter in the time of trouble,
    your strength is small.
11 Rescue those who are being led away to death!
    Indeed, hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter!

    does not he who weighs hearts perceive it?
    And he who keeps your soul,[a]
    he knows and will repay humankind according to his deeds.
