Psalm 145

The last acrostic, praise from A to Z. Its center is God's character again: gracious, compassionate, slow to anger, abounding in love, "good to all," with compassion on everything He made. He upholds all who fall and lifts all who are bowed down. He's near to all who call "in truth," which ties nearness to honesty.

"The LORD upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down." (Psalm 145:14)

Versions/Hebrew: There's a real textual difference at 145:13. The acrostic skips the letter nun in the Masoretic text (the WLC verse 13 has only "Your kingdom... all generations"), and KJV follows it. A Dead Sea Scroll (11QPs-a) and the Greek include a nun line, which BSB and WEB print: "The LORD is faithful in all His words and kind in all His actions."
