Psalm 34

THE PSALMIST 

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
   and his ears are attentive to their cry;
the face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
    to cut off the memory of them from the earth

PSALMIST DORIS SAYS:

The gaze of the Lord is ever on me
   and his ears are ever attuned to my whisperings;
the face of the Lord is turned toward my enemies,
   he blocks out their memory from my mind.

THE PSALMIST

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


 PSALMIST DORIS PRAYS:

My soul cries out, and my Beloved hears me;
   he delivers me from all my tremblings
.The Beloved clasps my broken heart and warms it
  with his own.  
My tremblings cease and my heart soars.

THE PSALMIST

A righteous man may have many troubles,
  but the Lord delivers him from them all,
he protects all his bones,
  not one of them will be broken,

PSALMIST DORIS PRAYS:

A good woman may have many troubles,
   but the Lord oversees and protects
   all her comings and goings
   not one will harm her
   his comfort is her protection. 

THE PSALMIST:
Evil will slay the wicked;
  the foes of the righteous will be condemned
The Lord redeems his servants;
  no one will be condemned who takes refuge in him.

PSALMIST DORIS PRAYS:
Evil has its own reward;
  the enemies of the righteous will fall into a dark hole.
The Lord looks after his servants;
  no one will fall into the darkness who seeks the protection of
 the Beloved.
