¹⁷ The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears^(A) them;
    he delivers them from all their troubles.

²⁹ The Lord is far from the wicked,
    but he hears the prayer of the righteous.^(A)

¹² For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
    and his ears are attentive to their prayer,
but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”^[a](A)
