Psalm 34:15-22

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁵ The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous,
    and his ears toward their cry.
¹⁶ The face of the Lord is against evildoers,
    to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
¹⁷ When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears,
    and delivers them out of all their troubles.
¹⁸ The Lord is near to the brokenhearted,
    and saves the crushed in spirit.

¹⁹ Many are the afflictions of the righteous;
    but the Lord delivers him out of them all.
²⁰ He keeps all his bones;
    not one of them is broken.
²¹ Evil shall slay the wicked;
    and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
²² The Lord redeems the life of his servants;
    none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.
