Bible in Basic English

The Lord is near the broken-hearted; he is the saviour of those whose spirits are crushed down.

Great are the troubles of the upright: but the Lord takes him safely out of them all.

He keeps all his bones: not one of them is broken.

Evil will put an end to the sinner, and those who are haters of righteousness will come to destruction.

The Lord will be the saviour of the souls of his servants, and no one who has faith in him will be put to shame.
