17. The souls of those who fear the Lordare favored.
18. To whom do they look?And who is their support?
19. The Lord’s eyesare upon those who love him.The Lord is a powerful shield,a strong support,a shelter from the heat,a shade from the midday sun,a guard against stumbling,and a help against falling;
20. one who lifts up the spirit,one who gives light to the eyes,and one who gives healingfor life and blessing.
21. When someone sacrifices something unjustly gotten,the offering is flawed;
22. the gifts of those who don’t followthe Law are not acceptable.
