You are near, LORD. All your mitzvot are truth.
You have commanded your statutes in righteousness. They are fully trustworthy.
Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness. Your law is truth.
Your testimonies are righteous forever. Give me understanding, that I may live.
You know my sitting down and my rising up. You perceive my thoughts from afar.
The LORD is near to all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.
The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.
*Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son. They shall call his name Immanu'el;* which is, being interpreted, *God with us.*
For what great nation is there, that has a god so near to them, as the LORD our God is whenever we call on him?
