¹⁵ The eyes of the Lord^(A) are on the righteous,^(B)
    and his ears are attentive^(C) to their cry;
¹⁶ but the face of the Lord is against^(D) those who do evil,^(E)
    to blot out their name^(F) from the earth.

¹⁷ The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears^(G) them;
    he delivers them from all their troubles.
¹⁸ The Lord is close^(H) to the brokenhearted^(I)
    and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

¹⁹ The righteous person may have many troubles,^(J)
    but the Lord delivers him from them all;^(K)
20 he protects all his bones,
    not one of them will be broken.^(L)

²¹ Evil will slay the wicked;^(M)
    the foes of the righteous will be condemned.
²² The Lord will rescue^(N) his servants;
    no one who takes refuge^(O) in him will be condemned.

⁶ Seek^(A) the Lord while he may be found;^(B)
    call^(C) on him while he is near.
⁷ Let the wicked forsake^(D) their ways
    and the unrighteous their thoughts.^(E)
Let them turn^(F) to the Lord, and he will have mercy^(G) on them,
    and to our God, for he will freely pardon.^(H)

⁸ “For my thoughts^(I) are not your thoughts,
    neither are your ways my ways,”^(J)
declares the Lord.
⁹ “As the heavens are higher than the earth,^(K)
    so are my ways higher than your ways
    and my thoughts than your thoughts.^(L)
10 As the rain^(M) and the snow
    come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
    without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,^(N)
    so that it yields seed^(O) for the sower and bread for the eater,^(P)
11 so is my word^(Q) that goes out from my mouth:
    It will not return to me empty,^(R)
but will accomplish what I desire
    and achieve the purpose^(S) for which I sent it.

“‘Our Father^(D) in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
¹⁰ your kingdom^(E) come,
your will be done,^(F)
    on earth as it is in heaven.
¹¹ Give us today our daily bread.^(G)
12 And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.^(H)
13 And lead us not into temptation,^[a](I)
    but deliver us from the evil one.^[b]’^(J)
