16 God won’t put up with rebels;he’ll cull them from the pack.
17 Is anyone crying for help? God is listening,ready to rescue you.
18 If your heart is broken, you’ll find God right there;if you’re kicked in the gut, he’ll help you catch your breath.
19 Disciples so often get into trouble;still, God is there every time.
20 He’s your bodyguard, shielding every bone;not even a finger gets broken.
21 The wicked commit slow suicide;they waste their lives hating the good.
22 God pays for each slave’s freedom;no one who runs to him loses out.
