Worth the Effort

¹³ Your kingdom is a kingship that lasts forever; your rule endures for all generations. The LORD is trustworthy in all that he says, faithful in all that he does. ¹⁴ The LORD supports all who fall down, straightens up all who are bent low. ¹⁵ All eyes look to you, hoping, and you give them their food right on time, ¹⁶ opening your hand and satisfying the desire of every living thing. ¹⁷ The LORD is righteous in all his ways, faithful in all his deeds. ¹⁸ The LORD is close to everyone who calls out to him, to all who call out to him sincerely. ¹⁹ God shows favor to those who honor him, listening to their cries for help and saving them. ²⁰ The LORD protects all who love him, but he destroys every wicked person. ²¹ My mouth will proclaim the LORD’s praise, and every living thing will bless God’s holy name forever and always.
