Why do You stand afar off, O Lord? [Why] do You overlook [us] in times of need, in affliction?

but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to destroy their memorial from the earth. The righteous cried, and the Lord hearkened to them,

For behold, they that remove themselves far from You shall perish; You have destroyed everyone that goes a whoring from You.

For the Lord is on high, and [yet] regards the lowly; and He knows high things from afar off.

"And these shall go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."

that at that time you were apart from Christ, being estranged from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, not having hope and atheists in the world.

But now in Christ Jesus, you who once were far away have come to be near by the blood of Christ.

The sacrifices of the ungodly are an abomination to the Lord, but the prayers of them that walk honestly are acceptable to Him.

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears [are open] to their prayer;

and delivered them out of all their afflictions.

If I have regarded iniquity in my heart, let not the Lord hearken [to me].

Therefore God has hearkened to me; He has attended to the voice of my prayer.

The Lord is near to all that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth.

He will perform the desire of them that fear Him: and He will hear their supplication, and save them.

For My counsels are not as your counsels, nor are My ways as your ways, says the Lord.

But as the heaven is distant from the earth, so is My way distant from your ways, and your thoughts from My mind.

Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He hears him.

Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings.

But He that searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes on behalf of the saints according to [the will] [of] God.

Confess your transgressions to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of the righteous is very powerful.

And again he prayed, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.

For the eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and His ears [open] to their prayer; but the face of the LORD is against those doing evil."
