Key Reflection

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous -This is another of the ways in which the psalmist says that life will be lengthened out, or that those who desire life may find it. The Lord will be the protector of the righteous; he will watch over and defend them. See the notes atJob 36:7. And his ears are open unto their cry -That is, when in trouble and in danger. He will hear them, and will deliver them.
