5. They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
6. This poor man cried, and the LORD heard [him], and saved him out of all his troubles.
7. The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
8. O taste and see that the LORD [is] good: blessed [is] the man [that] trusteth in him.
9. O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for [there is] no want to them that fear him.

18. The LORD [is] nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
19. Many [are] the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
20. He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
21. Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
22. The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate. 1

Psalm 56

1. Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
2. Mine enemies would daily swallow [me] up: for [they be] many that fight against me, O thou most High.
3. What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
4. In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
5. Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts [are] against me for evil.
6. They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
7. Shall they escape by iniquity? in [thine] anger cast down the people, O God.
8. Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: [are they] not in thy book?
9. When I cry [unto thee], then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God [is] for me.
10. In God will I praise [his] word: in the LORD will I praise [his] word.
11. In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
12. Thy vows [are] upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.
13. For thou hast delivered my soul from death: [wilt] not [thou deliver] my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
