13. They settle down in a promising place;Their kids inherit a prosperous farm.

14. God-friendship is for God-worshipers;They are the ones he confides in.

15. If I keep my eyes on God,I won’t trip over my own feet.

16. Look at me and help me!I’m all alone and in big trouble.

17. My heart and kidneys are fighting each other;Call a truce to this civil war.

18. Take a hard look at my life of hard labor,Then lift this ton of sin.

19. Do you see how many peopleHave it in for me?How viciously they hate me?

20. Keep watch over me and keep me out of trouble;Don’t let me down when I run to you.

21. Use all your skill to put me together;I wait to see your finished product.

22. God, give your people a breakFrom this run of bad luck.
