The LORD supports all who fall down, straightens up all who are bent low.  

Psalms 145:14 CEB

Sometimes in a song there's a line or a phrase that jumps out at you, a line that carries something special 

The Lord - Yahweh - the self-existant, the Eternal, notices those who fall down, sees those who are bent low, burdened, weighed down, pushed down, held down, and pulls them up, straightens, strengthens, restores. 

This is the hope that we hold, that our God sees us in our struggle and suffering, and bends down.

Our place in history is different to David's and we see Jesus as a massive part of our God's bending down. The Eternal became human, less than, small, and entered into the story.

And it's Jesus who fell down, who was bent low, for us. 

And he was restored, renewed, and that is our hope, our story too.

The Eternal is for us. 

We are Beloved.

We are seen.

We are known.

And one day, all will be made new, every tear acknowledged and held, and we will know just how beloved we are...by the Eternal who supports all who fall down, who straightens up all who are bent low...
