Verse 16 is found in chapter 34 of Psalms. Psalm 34 combines personal testimony, communal praise, and wisdom teaching. The psalmist invites others to taste the goodness of the Lord after experiencing his deliverance. The second part adopts the tone of instruction for those who desire to live well: guard the tongue, turn away from evil, and seek peace. The statement that God is near to the brokenhearted shows that affliction does not mean divine abandonment.

Die Augen des HERRN merken auf die Gerechten und seine Ohren auf ihr Schreien;
La ira de Jehová contra los que mal hacen, Para cortar de la tierra la memoria de ellos.
El rostro de Jehová está contra los que hacen el mal, para borrar de la tierra su recuerdo.
L'Eternel tourne sa face contre les méchants, Pour retrancher de la terre leur souvenir.
La faccia del Signore è contro a quelli che fanno male, Per isterminare la lor memoria d’in su la terra.
A face do SENHOR está contra os que fazem o mal, para desarraigar da terra a memória deles.
耶和華向行惡的人變臉, 要從地上除滅他們的名字 。
