because he did not remember to do mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, and sought to kill the broken-hearted.

He heals the broken-hearted, and binds up their wounds.

SAMECH: I hate half-hearted thoughts; but Your Law do I love.

Jehovah is near to the broken-hearted; and saves those who are of a contrite spirit.

From the end of the earth I cry to You when my heart is faint; Lead me to the Rock higher than I.

My soul longs, yea, even faints for the courts of Jehovah; my heart and my flesh shout for joy to the living God.

And my spirit has fainted within me; my heart has become weary within me.

I would have fainted unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah in the land of the living.

I remembered God, and was troubled; I complained, and my spirit fainted. Selah.

Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

When my spirit fainted within me, then You knew my path. In the way in which I walked they have secretly laid a snare for me.

KAPH: My soul faints for Your salvation; I hope in Your Word.

How long shall I take counsel in my heart having sorrow in my heart daily? How long shall my enemy be lifted up over me?

Jehovah is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoices; and with my song I will praise Him.

My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart, and my part forever.

My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise.
