15. But the needy He saves from the sword,from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
16. So the helpless has hope,and injustice shuts her mouth.
17. “How happy is the man whom God corrects!Therefore do not despise the discipline of the Almighty,
18. for He wounds, but He applies the bandage;He injures, but His hands also heal.
19. In six crises He will deliver you;even in seven, disaster will not touch you.
20. In famine He will redeem you from death,and in war from the power of the sword.
21. You will be hidden from the lash of the tongue,and you will not fear violence when it comes.
22. You will laugh at devastation and famine,and you will not fear wild animals.
23. For you will have a covenant with the stones of the field,and the wild animals will be at peace with you.
