18 Lo, the eye of Jehovah `is' to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,
He withdraweth not from the righteous His eyes, And `from' kings on the throne, And causeth them to sit for ever, and they are high,
Jehovah is pleased with those fearing Him, With those waiting for His kindness.
And I, in Thy kindness I have trusted, Rejoice doth my heart in Thy salvation.
The eyes of Jehovah `are' unto the righteous, And His ears unto their cry. (The face of Jehovah `is' on doers of evil, To cut off from earth their memorial.) They cried, and Jehovah heard, And from all their distresses delivered them. Near `is' Jehovah to the broken of heart, And the bruised of spirit He saveth. Many `are' the evils of the righteous, Out of them all doth Jehovah deliver him. He is keeping all his bones, One of them hath not been broken.
that through two immutable things, in which `it is' impossible for God to lie, a strong comfort we may have who did flee for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before `us',
and to him who is working, the reward is not reckoned of grace, but of debt; and to him who is not working, and is believing upon Him who is declaring righteous the impious, his faith is reckoned -- to righteousness: even as David also doth speak of the happiness of the man to whom God doth reckon righteousness apart from works: `Happy they whose lawless acts were forgiven, and whose sins were covered; happy the man to whom the Lord may not reckon sin.'
