14 They meet with darkness in the day-time, 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 the poor has hope, And injustice shuts her mouth.
17 "Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects: Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.
18 For he wounds, and binds up; He injures, and his hands make whole.
