19 The eyes of the Lord are upon those who love him;he is their mighty shield and strong support,A shelter from the heat, a shade from the noonday sun,a guard against stumbling, a help against falling.
20 He lifts up spirits, brings a sparkle to the eyes,gives health and life and blessing.
21 Ill-gotten goods offered in sacrifice are tainted.
22 Presents from the lawless do not win God’s favor.
23 The Most High is not pleased with the gifts of the godless,nor for their many sacrifices does he forgive their sins.
24 One who slays a son in his father’s presence—whoever offers sacrifice from the holdings of the poor.
25 The bread of charity is life itself for the needy;whoever withholds it is a murderer.
