\v 1 Call out now; is there anyone who will answer you?

|
|
|
\q To which of the holy ones will you turn?
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 2 For anger kills the foolish man;
|
|
|
|
|
\q jealousy kills the silly one.
|

|
|

\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 3 I have seen a foolish person taking root,

|
|
|
\q but suddenly I cursed his home.

\v 4 His children are far from safety;
|

\q they are crushed in the city gate.
|
|
|
|
|
\q There is no one to rescue them—
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 5 those whose harvest is eaten up by others who are hungry,
|
|
|
|
|
\q people who take it even out of the thorns;
|
|
|
|
|
\q those whose wealth is consumed by people thirsty for it.

\s5

|

|

\v 8 But as for me, I would turn to God himself;
|
|
|
|
|
\q to him I would commit my cause—
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 9 he who does great and profound things,
|
|
|
|
|
\q marvelous things without number.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 10 He gives rain on the earth,
|
|
|
|
|
\q and sends water on the fields.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 11 He does this in order to set up on high those who are low;
|
|
|
|
|
\q to raise to safety those who mourn in ashes.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 12 He frustrates the schemes of crafty people,
|
|
|
|
|
\q so that their hands cannot carry out their plots.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 13 He traps wise people in their own craftiness;
|
|
|
|
|
\q the plans of clever people soon end.

\q and grope at noonday as if it were night.

\v 15 But he saves the poor person from the sword in their mouths
|

|
|
|
\q and the needy person from the hand of mighty people.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|

\v 16 So the poor person has hope,
|
|
|
|
|
\q and injustice shuts her own mouth.

|

\v 17 See, happy is the man whom God corrects;

|
|
\q therefore, do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|

\q
|
|

\v 19 He will rescue you out of six troubles;

\q indeed, in seven troubles, no evil will touch you.

\q
|
|
|
|

\v 21 You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue;

\q and you will not be afraid of destruction when it comes.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|

\v 22 You will laugh at destruction and famine,
|
|
|
|
|
\q and you will not be afraid of wild beasts.

\q
|

\q
|

\v 25 You will also know that your posterity will be great,

\v 26 You will come to your grave at a full age,
