    because you have seen my affliction;
    you have ^(A)known the distress of my soul,

¹⁸ The Lord ^(A)knows the days of the blameless,
    and their ^(B)heritage will remain for ever;

³ O Lord, ^(A)what is man that you ^(B)regard him,
    or the son of man that you think of him?

^7 (A)The Lord is good,
    ^(B)a stronghold in the day of trouble;
^(C)he knows those who take refuge in him.
