Why do You stand afar off, O Jehovah? Will You hide in times of distress?

The face of Jehovah is against those who do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

For lo, those who are far from You shall perish; You have destroyed all those who go whoring away from You.

Though Jehovah is on high, yet He gives attention to the lowly; but the proud He recognizes from afar.

And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.

that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been made near by the blood of Christ.

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah, but the prayer of the upright is His delight.

The eyes of Jehovah are upon the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry.

The righteous cry out, and Jehovah hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.

If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear.

Surely God has heard; He has given attention to the voice of my prayer.

Jehovah is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth.

He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry and save them.

For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways, says Jehovah.

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.

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

Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to God.

Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man is mighty.

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

For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayers; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.
