Psalm 119:151

New International Version

Yet you are near, Lord, and all your commands are true.

See the chapter Copy

The statutes you have laid down are righteous; they are fully trustworthy.

Your righteousness is everlasting and your law is true.

Your statutes are always righteous; give me understanding that I may live.

You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.

The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

We praise you, God, we praise you, for your Name is near; people tell of your wonderful deeds.

“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).

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?
