Psalm 34:17

Verse 17 of 22. The 34th of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.

13Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking lies.

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

15The LORD’s eyes are toward the righteous. His ears listen to their cry.

16The LORD’s face is against those who do evil, to cut off their memory from the earth.

17The righteous cry, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.

18The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.

19Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all.

20He protects all of his bones. Not one of them is broken.

21Evil shall kill the wicked. Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
