14 The Lord (A)supports all who fall,
And (B)raises up all who are bowed down.
15 The eyes of all [a]look to You,
And You (C)give them their food in due time.
16 You (D)open Your hand
And satisfy the desire of every living thing.

17 The Lord is (E)righteous in all His ways,
And kind in all His works.
18 The Lord is (F)near to all who call on Him,
To all who call on Him (G)in truth.
19 He will (H)fulfill the desire of those who fear Him;
He will also (I)hear their cry for help and save them.
20 The Lord (J)watches over all who love Him,
But He will destroy all the (K)wicked.
21 My (L)mouth will speak the praise of the Lord,
And (M)all flesh will (N)bless His holy name forever and ever.
