ACV(i)
10 who gives rain upon the earth, and sends waters upon the fields,
11 so that he sets up on high those who are low, and those who mourn are exalted to safety.
12 He frustrates the devices of the crafty so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
13 He takes the wise in their own craftiness, and the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong.
14 They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope at noonday as in the night.
15 But he saves from the sword of their mouth, even the needy from the hand of the mighty.
16 So a poor man has hope, and iniquity stops her mouth.
17 Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects. Therefore do not despise thou the chastening of the Almighty.
18 For he injures, and binds up. He wounds, and his hands make whole.
19 He will deliver thee in six troubles. Yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
20 In famine he will redeem thee from death, and in war from the power of the sword.
21 Thou shall be hid from the scourge of the tongue. Neither shall thou be afraid of destruction when it comes.
22 At destruction and dearth thou shall laugh, nor shall thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
