Psalm 34:18

The Lord Delivers The Righteous

¹⁷ The cry of the upright comes before the Lord, and he takes them out of all their troubles. ¹⁸ The Lord is near the broken-hearted; he is the saviour of those whose spirits are crushed down. ¹⁹ Great are the troubles of the upright: but the Lord takes him safely out of them all.
