Broken Shells

Psalm 34:15-22

¹⁵ The LORD’s eyes watch the righteous, his ears listen to their cries for help. ¹⁶ But the LORD’s face is set against those who do evil, to eliminate even the memory of them from the earth. ¹⁷ When the righteous cry out, the LORD listens; he delivers them from all their troubles. ¹⁸ The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he saves those whose spirits are crushed. ¹⁹ The righteous have many problems, but the LORD delivers them from every one. ²⁰ He protects all their bones; not even one will be broken. ²¹ But just one problem will kill the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be held responsible. ²² The LORD saves his servants’ lives; all those who take refuge in him won’t be held responsible for anything.
