יהוה is far from the wrong ones, But He hears the prayer of the righteous.
Only, it is false that Ě
Why do You stand afar off, O יהוה, hiding in times of distress?
Though יהוה is exalted, He looks on the humble; But the proud He perceives from a distance.
They cry – but no one is there to save, To יהוה – but He answers them not.
For look, those who are far from You perish; You shall cut off all those Who go whoring away from You.
“Let them then call on me, but I answer not; Let them seek me, but not find me.
The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, A good report gives marrow to the bones.
The slaughtering of the wrong ones Is an abomination to יהוה, But the prayer of the straight is His delight.
But your crookednesses have separated you from your Elohim. And your sins have hidden His face from you, from hearing.
“And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into everlasting life.”
“And we know that Elohim does not hear sinners. But if anyone fears Elohim and does His desire, He hears him.
“Because the eyes of יהוה are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayers, but the face of יהוה is against those who do evil.”
