Psalm 34:16-18

Common English Bible

¹⁶ But the Lord’s face is set against those who do evil,
    to eliminate even the memory of them from the earth.
¹⁷ When the righteous cry out, the Lord listens;
    he delivers them from all their troubles.
¹⁸ The Lord is close to the brokenhearted;
    he saves those whose spirits are crushed.
