<a id="5" name="5"></a>
5. Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed.

<a id="16" name="16"></a>
16. The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.
<a id="17" name="17"></a>
17. When the righteous cry for help, the LORD hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.
<a id="18" name="18"></a>
18. The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.
<a id="19" name="19"></a>
