He will fulfil the desires of those who fear him; he will hear their cry for help and save them.
20 Bwana huwalinda wote wampendao, bali waovu wote atawaangamiza.
The Lord is the keeper of all who love him, but all the wicked will he destroy.

My mouth will utter the praise of the Lord, and all life will bless his holy name for ever and ever.
