Psalm 34:9,15; 1 Peter 3:12a [Latin]

9 O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.

12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
