4
His children are 3far from safety; they are crushed in 4the gate, and there is no one to deliver them.
5
The hungry eat his harvest, and he takes it even out of thorns,a and the thirsty pantb after hisc wealth.
6
For affliction does not come from the dust, nor does trouble sprout from the ground,
7
but man is 5born to trouble as the sparks fly upward.
8
"As for me, I would seek God, and to God would I commit my cause,
10
he gives 9rain on the earth and sends waters on the fields;
11
he 10sets on high those who are lowly, and those who mourn are lifted to safety.
