⁹ The Lord is a refuge for the persecuted,
a refuge in times of trouble.^(A)

⁷ The craftsman encourages the metalworker;^(A)
the one who flattens with the hammer
encourages the one who strikes the anvil,
saying of the soldering, ‘It is good.’
He fastens it with nails so that it will not fall over.^(B)
