Psalms

Psalm 145:18–21

¹⁸The LORD is near to all who call on Him,

to all who call out to Him in truth.

¹⁹He fulfills the desires of those who fear Him;

He hears their cry and saves them.

²⁰The LORD preserves all who love Him,

but all the wicked He will destroy.

²¹My mouth will declare the praise of the LORD;

let every creature bless His holy name

forever and ever.
