Psalm 34:15-17

The Voice

¹⁵ For the Eternal watches over the righteous,
    and His ears are attuned to their prayers. He is always listening.
¹⁶ But He will punish evildoers,
    and nothing they do will last. They will soon be forgotten.
¹⁷ When the upright need help and cry to the Eternal, He hears their cries
    and rescues them from all of their troubles.
