Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love,
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
but the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love.
He does not withdraw his eyes from the righteous, but with kings on the throne he sets them forever, and they are exalted.
The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous and his ears toward their cry. The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth. When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.
so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us.
But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the steadfast love of God forever and ever.
But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works: “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin.”
