17 The righteous cry out, and (A)the Lord hears,
And delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 (B)The Lord is near (C)to those who have a broken heart,
And saves such as [a]have a contrite spirit.

19 (D)Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
(E)But the Lord delivers him out of them all.
20 He guards all his bones;
(F)Not one of them is broken.
21 (G)Evil shall slay the wicked,
And those who hate the righteous shall be [b]condemned.
22 The Lord (H)redeems the soul of His servants,
And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.
