The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.
Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.
I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
