The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them
Psalm 145:19 He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them.
The LORD is close
Deuteronomy 4:7 What other nation is so great as to have their gods near them the way the LORD our God is near us whenever we pray to him?
Psalm 119:151 Yet you are near, LORD, and all your commands are true.
Psalm 145:18 The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.
Isaiah 50:8 He who vindicates me is near. Who then will bring charges against me? Let us face each other! Who is my accuser? Let him confront me!
to the brokenhearted
Psalm 51:17 My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise.
Psalm 109:16 For he (David's enemy) never thought of doing a kindness, but hounded to death the poor and the needy and the brokenhearted.
Psalm 147:3 He (the LORD) heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
Isaiah 61:1-3 The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion--to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.
