To whom will the Lord Look?

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

Psalm 34:18 NIV


He gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
He healeth the broken in heart,
and bindeth up their wounds.

Psalm 147 2b,3 KJV


Thus says the LORD:

"Heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool;
what is the house which you would build for me,
and what is the place of my rest?

All these things my hand has made,
and so all these things are mine, says the LORD.

But this is the man to whom I will look,
he that is humble and contrite in spirit,
and trembles at my word.

Isaiah 66:1,2 RSV


The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.

Psalm 51:17 NASB
