Psalms – watercress words by Dr Aletha

New International Reader’s Version (NIRV)

¹⁵The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are attentive to their cry;
¹⁶but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
to blot out their name from the earth.

¹⁷The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them;
he delivers them from all their troubles.
¹⁸The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Psalm 34:11-14

New International Reader’s Version (NIRV)

My children, come. Listen to me.
    I will teach you to have respect for the Lord.
¹²Do you love life
    and want to see many good days?
¹³Then keep your tongues from speaking evil.
    Keep your lips from telling lies.
¹⁴Turn away from evil, and do good.
    Look for peace, and go after it.

I took these photos while on a volunteer medical service trip to Cuenca Ecuador a number of years ago. The 3-domed church in the featured image above is The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception (Spanish: Catedral de la Inmaculada Concepción). Thanks to Senior RV Adventure for helping me identify these beautiful churches.
