The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right;
His ears are open to their cries for help.

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted;

He rescues those whose spirits are crushed.

He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds.

It is essential for the follower of Christ to realise

that righteousness does not depend solely on upright conduct,

but that what really identifies the just person

is his or her repentance

and humble recourse to the Lord.
