Reflections on the Stories of David and Esther
Some People Are “Lucky”
Psalm 34:15-22
15 The
eyes of the LORD
are on the righteous, And
His ears
are open to their cry.
16 The
face of the LORD
is against those who do evil, To cut
off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry out, and the
LORD hears
, And
delivers
them out of all their troubles.
18 The
LORD is near
to those who have a broken heart, And
saves such as have a contrite spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the
LORD
delivers
him out of them all.
20
He guards
all his bones; Not one of them is broken.
21 Evil shall slay the wicked, And those who hate the
righteous shall be condemned.
22 The
LORD redeems
the soul of His servants, And none of
those who trust in Him shall be condemned.
Psa. 34:15-22

Some People Are Lucky Some People Are Lucky Psalm 34:15-22
15 The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry. 16 The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. 17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles. 18 The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit. 19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the LORD delivers him out of them all. 20 He guards all his bones; Not one of them is broken. 21 Evil shall slay the wicked, And those who hate the righteous shall be condemned. 22 The LORD redeems the soul of His servants, And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned. Psa. 34:15-22
