For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
For ... Ground of the promised life of blessedness to the meek (1 Peter 3:10).
Ears ... unto their prayers - (1 John 5:14-15.)
Face ... against. The Lord's eyes imply favourable regard (Deuteronomy 11:12); His face upon (not "against") them that do evil, implies that He narrowly observes, so as not to let them really hurt His people (cf. 1 Peter 3:13).
