1 I will bless the Lord at all times; ♦︎
his praise shall ever be in my mouth.
15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous ♦︎
and his ears are open to their cry.
16 The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, ♦︎
to root out the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry and the Lord hears them ♦︎
and delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted ♦︎
and will save those who are crushed in spirit.
19 Many are the troubles of the righteous; ♦︎
from them all will the Lord deliver them.
20 He keeps all their bones, ♦︎
so that not one of them is broken.
21 But evil shall slay the wicked ♦︎
and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
22 The Lord ransoms the life of his servants ♦︎
and will condemn none who seek refuge in him.
