¹⁴ The LORD helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads.

¹⁵ The eyes of all look to you in hope; you give them their food as they need it.

¹⁶ When you open your hand, you satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing.

¹⁷ The LORD is righteous in everything he does; he is filled with kindness.

¹⁸ The LORD is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him in truth.

¹⁹ He grants the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cries for help and rescues them.
