^18 (A)The Lord is near ^(B)to those who have a broken heart,
And saves such as ^[a]have a contrite spirit.

^17 (A)The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,
A broken and a contrite heart—
These, O God, You will not despise.

² For all those things My hand has made,
And all those things exist,”
Says the Lord.
^(A)“But on this one will I look:
^(B)On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit,
And who trembles at My word.
