PSALM 34 THE LORD REDEEMS HIS SERVANTS
15 The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous
and his ears toward their cry.
16 The face of the LORD is against those who do evil,
to cut off the memory of them from the earth.
17 When the righteous cry for help, the LORD hears
and delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 The LORD is near to the brokenhearted
and saves the crushed in spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
but the LORD delivers him out of them all.
20 He keeps all his bones;
not one of them is broken.
21 Affliction will slay the wicked,
and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
22 The LORD redeems the life of his servants;
none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned. – Psalm 34:15-22

DELIVERER OF THE RIGHTEOUS by ILMA
God favors all those who live in righteousness
He cares for every little thing that they encounter
When they cry out to him in the midst of adversities
He is fast to assist and free them from the devil’s tactics.
God turns his back on those who perpetuates evil and sin
He doesn’t tolerate wrongdoers to crush his beloved saints
The Lord is close to all those who are broken hearted
He also rescues those who are poor in spirit and rejected.
Though adversities and suffering afflict the righteous
The Lord is faithful to deliver them of all such hardships
He keeps all their bones intact and redeems his servants
He slays all those who plot evil and scheme to hurt his own people.
