17 The godly cry out and the Lord hears;he saves them from all their troubles.
18 The Lord is near the brokenhearted;he delivers those who are discouraged.
19 The godly face many dangers,but the Lord saves them from each one of them.
20 He protects all his bones;not one of them is broken.
21 Evil people self-destruct;those who hate the godly are punished.
22 The Lord rescues his servants;all who take shelter in him escape punishment.
