18. The Lord is ever nigh to themthat be of broken sp'rit;To them he safety doth affordthat are in heart contrite.
19. The troubles that afflict the justin number many be;But yet at length out of them allthe Lord doth set him free.
20. He carefully his bones doth keep,whatever can befall;That not so much as one of themcan broken be at all.
21. Ill shall the wicked slay; laid wasteshall be who hate the just.
22. The Lord redeems his servants' souls;none perish that him trust.
