¹⁵ The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
    and his ears are open to 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 rescues them from all their troubles.
¹⁸ The Lord is near to the brokenhearted
    and saves the crushed in spirit.
