14The Lord helps up all those who fall down; he lifts up all those who are bowed down.

15All eyes are on you, waiting in hope, and you give food at just the right time.

16You give generously and satisfy the needs of every living thing.

17The Lord does right in everything—his actions are always trustworthy.

18The Lord is close to all who ask for his help, to all who ask in sincerity.

19He satisfies the needs of those who follow him. He hears their cries for help and he saves them.

20The Lord takes care of all those who love him, but he will destroy all those who are wicked.

21I will speak in praise of the Lord, and may everyone honor his holy character, forever and ever.
