"The LORD upholds all who fall, And raises up all who are bowed down....The LORD is righteous in all His ways, Gracious in all His works. The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.... He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry and save them. The LORD preserves all who love Him."
