17. When the righteous cry out, the Lord listens;he delivers them from all their troubles.
18. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted;he saves those whose spirits are crushed.
19. The righteous have many problems,but the Lord delivers them from every one.
20. He protects all their bones;not even one will be broken.
21. But just one problem will kill the wicked,and those who hate the righteous will be held responsible.
