10. Who gives rain to the earth and sends water over the plains.
11. Who places the lowly on high and lifts mourners to salvation.
12. Who frustrates the plans of the crafty, so that their hands attain no success.
13. Who catches the clever in their craftiness, and thwarts the plan of the cunning.
14. By day they encounter darkness and grope at noon as if it were night.
15. But He saves the needy from the sword of their mouth, and from the clutches of the mighty.
16. So the helpless have hope and injustice shuts its mouth.
17. Behold, happy is the one whom God corrects, so do not despise the discipline of Shaddai.
18. For He inflicts pain, but He also binds up; He injures, yet His hands also heal.
19. From six calamities He will deliver you, even in seven, no harm will 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 not fear when violence comes.
22. You will laugh at violence and famine, and will not fear the beasts of the earth.
23. For you will have a covenant with the stones of the field, and the beasts of the field will be at peace with you.
