They will put their trust in the Lord.

O my God, do not delay.” (Psalm 40:1-3, 16-17, NLT)

The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right; His ears are open to their cries for help. But the Lord turns His face against those who do evil; He will erase their memory from the earth. The Lord hears His people when they call to Him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, He rescues those who spirits are crushed.” (Psalm 34:11-18, NLT)
