This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;

    and his ears are attentive(W) to their cry;
16 but the face of the Lord is against(X) those who do evil,(Y)
    to blot out their name(Z) from the earth.

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

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

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

11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?

13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
