Psalm 34:17–22

17 The righteousD cry out, and the Lord hears,

and rescues them from all their troubles.a

18 The Lord is near the brokenhearted;

he saves those crushed in spirit.b

19 One who is righteous has many adversities,

but the Lord rescues him from them all.c

20 He protects all his bones;

not one of them is broken.d

21 Evil brings death to the wicked,

and those who hate the righteous will be punished.e

22 The Lord redeems the life of his servants,

and all who take refuge in him will not be punished.f
