Let us exalt his name together. 4 I sought Yahweh, and he answered me, And delivered me from all my fears. 5 They looked to him, and were radiant.

Not one of them is broken. 21 Evil shall kill the wicked. Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned. 22 Yahweh redeems the soul of his servants. None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned.
