11. To set up on high those that be the shefalim (the lowly ones); that those which mourn may be exalted to safety,
12. Thwarting the machshevot of the arumim (crafty ones), so that their hands cannot accomplish tushiyyah (success).
13. He taketh the chachamim in their own arum (craftiness), and the etzah of the wily is swiftly swept away.
14. They meet with choshech in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the lailah,
15. But He saveth the needy from the cherev of their mouth, and from the yad chazak.
16. So the poor hath tikveh, and olatah (perversity, wickedness) stoppeth her mouth.
17. Hinei, ashrei is the enosh whom Eloah correcteth; therefore despise not thou the musar (chastening) of Shaddai;
18. For He woundeth, and bindeth up; He injureth, and His yadayim (hands) heal.
19. He shall deliver thee in shesh tzoros; yea, in shivah there shall no rah touch thee.
20. In ra'av (famine) He shall redeem thee from mavet; and in milchamah from the power of the cherev.
21. Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the leshon, neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
22. At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh; neither shalt thou be afraid of the chayyat ha'aretz.
