Psalm 145:14

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

God raiseth all that are bow'd down, upholdeth all that fall.

See the chapter Copy

The Lord doth give the blind their sight, the bowed down doth raise: The Lord doth dearly love all those that walk in upright ways.

Although he fall, yet shall he not be cast down utterly; Because the Lord with his own hand upholds him mightily.

When I had uttered this word, (my foot doth slip away,) Thy mercy held me up, O Lord, thy goodness did me stay.

Hold thou me up, so shall I be in peace and safety still; And to thy statutes have respect continually I will.

O why art thou cast down, my soul? why in me so dismay'd? Trust God, for I shall praise him yet, his count'nance is mine aid.

I troubled am, and much bow'd down; all day I mourning go.
