18  Behold, the ^veye of the Lord is on those who fear him,

on those who ^whope in his steadfast love,

19  that he may deliver their soul from death

and keep them alive ^xin famine.

20  Our soul waits for the Lord;

he is our help and our ^yshield.

15  The ^peyes of the Lord are toward the righteous

and his ears toward their cry.

16  The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,

to cut off the memory of them from the earth.

9  O Lord, all my longing is before you;

my sighing is not hidden from you.

20  The Lord ^spreserves all who love him,

but all the wicked he will destroy.
