the Lord gives sight to the blind,
the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down,
the Lord loves the righteous. Psalms 146:8
—-
The Lord is good,
a refuge in times of trouble.
He cares for those who trust in him Nahum 1:7
—
Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God. Psalms 42:11
—
You, Lord, keep my lamp burning;
my God turns my darkness into light. Psalms 18:28
—-
Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory
in the heavens.
Through the praise of children and infants
you have established a stronghold against your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger.
When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them?
You have made them[d] a little lower than the angels
and crowned them[f] with glory and honor.
You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
you put everything under their[g] feet:
all flocks and herds,
and the animals of the wild,
the birds in the sky,
and the fish in the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas.
Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your
name in all the earth! Psalms 8
