Denn die Augen des HERRN merken auf die Gerechten und seine Ohren auf ihr Gebet; das Angesicht aber des HERRN steht wider die, die Böses tun.
Porque los ojos del Señor están sobre los justos, Y sus oídos atentos a sus oraciones: Pero el rostro del Señor está sobre aquellos que hacen mal.
Car les yeux du Seigneur sont sur les justes Et ses oreilles sont attentives à leur prière, Mais la face du Seigneur est contre ceux qui font le mal.
Perciocchè gli occhi del Signore son sopra i giusti, e le sue orecchie sono intente alla loro orazione; ma il volto del Signore è contro a quelli che fanno male.
Porque os olhos do Senhor estão sobre os justos, E os seus ouvidos atentos às suas orações; Mas o rosto do Senhor é contra os que fazem o mal.
因為主的眼看顧義人, 他的耳聽他們的祈禱; 但主向行惡的人變臉。」
