Psalm 34:15-17

New International Reader's Version

¹⁵ The Lord looks with favor on those who are godly.
    His ears are open to their cry.
¹⁶ But the Lord doesn’t look with favor on those who do evil.
    He removes all memory of them from the earth.

¹⁷ Godly people cry out, and the Lord hears them.
    He saves them from all their troubles.
