15. The Lord watches over the righteousand listens to their cries;
16. but he opposes those who do evil,so that when they die, they are soon forgotten.
17. The righteous call to the Lord, and he listens;he rescues them from all their troubles.
18. The Lord is near to those who are discouraged;he saves those who have lost all hope.
19. Good people suffer many troubles,but the Lord saves them from them all;
20. the Lord preserves them completely;not one of their bones is broken.
