Psalm 34:16-18

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁶ The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.^(A)

¹⁷ When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their distress and troubles.

¹⁸ The Lord is close to those who are of a broken heart and saves such as are crushed with sorrow for sin and are humbly and thoroughly penitent.
