18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.

Psalm 56:1-4
1 O God, have mercy on me,
for people are hounding me.
My foes attack me all day long.
2 I am constantly hounded by those who slander me,
and many are boldly attacking me.
3 But when I am afraid,
I will put my trust in you.
4 I praise God for what he has promised.
I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
What can mere mortals do to me?

10 For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one[d] to rot in the grave.
11 You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.
