15. But God saves the poor from death;he saves the needy from oppression.
16. He gives hope to the poor and silences the wicked.
17. Happy is the person whom God corrects!Do not resent it when he rebukes you.
18. God bandages the wounds he makes;his hand hurts you, and his hand heals.
19. Time after time he will save you from harm;
20. when famine comes, he will keep you alive,and in war protect you from death.
21. God will rescue you from slander;he will save you when destruction comes.
22. You will laugh at violence and hungerand not be afraid of wild animals.
23. The fields you plough will be free of rocks;wild animals will never attack you.
24. Then you will live at peace in your tent;when you look at your sheep, you will find them safe.
25. You will have as many childrenas there are blades of grass in a pasture.
26. Like wheat that ripens till harvest time,you will live to a ripe old age.
