Psalm 34:15–22 | Liturgical Calendar

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 from all their troubles.

18

The Lord is near to the brokenhearted *

and will save those whose spirits are crushed.

19

Many are the troubles of the righteous, *

but the Lord will deliver him out of them all.

20

He will keep safe all his bones; *

not one of them shall be broken.

21

Evil shall slay the wicked, *

and those who hate the righteous will be punished.

22

The Lord ransoms the life of his servants, *

and none will be punished who trust in him.
