For He has not turned away from the suffering of the one in pain or trouble. He has not hidden His face from him. But He has heard his cry for help.

He who has clean hands and a pure heart. He who has not lifted up his soul to what is not true, and has not made false promises.

He leads those without pride into what is right, and teaches them His way.
