10 he gives (A)rain on the earth
    and sends waters on the fields;
11 he (B)sets on high those who are lowly,
    and those who mourn are lifted to safety.
12 He (C)frustrates the devices of the crafty,
    so that their hands achieve no success.
13 He (D)catches the wise in their own craftiness,
    and the schemes of the wily are brought to a quick end.
14 They meet with darkness in the daytime
    and (E)grope at noonday as in the night.
15 But he (F)saves the needy from the sword of their mouth
    and from the hand of the mighty.
16 So the poor have hope,
    and (G)injustice shuts her mouth.

17 “Behold, (H)blessed is the one whom God reproves;
    therefore (I)despise not the discipline of the (J)Almighty.
18 For he wounds, but he (K)binds up;
    he (L)shatters, but his hands heal.
19 He will (M)deliver you from six troubles;
    in seven no (N)evil[a] shall touch you.
20 (O)In famine he will redeem you from death,
    and in war from the power of the sword.
21 You shall be (P)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 (Q)the beasts of the earth.
