Adaptation of Psalm 34:17-18

I enjoy looking at the Hebrew words and their meanings.  This gives me word pictures that make the Scriptures come alive.  The underlined English words have Hebrew meanings that fill out these verses.  Use the interlinear translation from any Hebrew-English Bible to enjoy the process for yourself.NIV translation:Psalm 34:17 The righteous cry out and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.v. 18.  The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.v. 17.  When I complain and cry, and call out in grief to you — “The Great I Am” — you hear me.  You not only listen attentively with intelligence, but you may also obey my request.  When I have trouble, [something small, like an annoying pebble in my shoe, or big, like the fear of running my raft through rapid white waters] you rescue me.  You pluck me up out of the narrow straits or tear me away from enemy attacks.v. 18 You, Abba Father, are my kin and in an intimate relationship with me. When I am double crushed in my spirit and I can barely breathe, when my body feels crippled, my mind wrecked, or my heart shattered, you save me. You give me the victoryThrough Christ Jesus our Lord. In Christ,
