11 He protects the sorrowfuland lifts up thosewho have been disgraced.*
12 God swiftly traps the wicked
13 in their own evil schemes,and their wisdom fails.
14 Darkness is their only companion,hiding their path at noon.
15 God rescues the needyfrom the words of the wickedand the fist of the mighty.
16 The poor are filled with hope,and injustice is silenced.
17 Consider yourself fortunateif God All-Powerfulchooses to correct you.
