Psalms 34:17
15 The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are inclined to their cry.
16 But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to wipe out all memory of them from the earth.
The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears; He delivers them from all their troubles.
18 The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; He saves the contrite in spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him from them all.
