16The face of the Lord is against them that doe euill; to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. 17The righteous crie, and the Lord heareth; and deliuereth them out of all their troubles. 18The Lord is nigh vnto them that are of a broken heart: and saueth such as be of a contrite spirit. 19Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord deliuereth him out of them all. 20He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
