⁶ And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

¹⁷ Fools are afflicted because of their disobedience, and because of their iniquities.

¹⁸ Their soul abhors all kinds of food. They draw near to the gates of death.

¹⁹ Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble, he saves them out of their distresses.

²⁰ He sends his word, and heals them, and delivers them from their graves.

²¹ Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful works to the children of men!

²² Let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with singing.
