The eyes of all wait for you. You give them their food in due season.
16 Ou louvri men ou, ou bay ni moun, ni bèt, ni plant tou sa yo bezwen.

18 Seyè a kanpe toupre moun k'ap rele l', toupre tout moun k'ap rele l' ak tout kè yo.
The LORD is near to all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.
19 L'ap bay tout moun ki gen krentif pou li sa yo ta renmen. Li tande lè y'ap rele l', l'ap delivre yo.
He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him. He also will hear their cry, and will save them.
20 L'ap pwoteje tout moun ki renmen l'. Men, l'ap detwi tout mechan yo.

21 M'a fè lwanj Seyè a ak bouch mwen. Se pou tout moun fè lwanj Bondye ki yon Bondye apa. Se pou yo fè l' tout tan tout tan.
My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD. Let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.
