The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

Verse 18 is found in chapter 34 of Psalms. Psalm 34 combines personal testimony, communal praise, and wisdom teaching. The psalmist invites others to taste the goodness of the Lord after experiencing his deliverance. The second part adopts the tone of instruction for those who desire to live well: guard the tongue, turn away from evil, and seek peace. The statement that God is near to the brokenhearted shows that affliction does not mean divine abandonment.

Wenn die Gerechten schreien, so hört der HERR und errettet sie aus all ihrer Not.
Cercano está Jehová a los quebrantados de corazón; Y salvará a los contritos de espíritu.
Jehová está cerca de los quebrantados de corazón y salva a los de espíritu abatido.
L'Eternel est près de ceux qui ont le coeur brisé, Et il sauve ceux qui ont l'esprit dans l'abattement.
Il Signore è presso di quelli che hanno il cuor rotto, E salva quelli che hanno lo spirito contrito.
Perto está o SENHOR dos que têm o coração quebrantado, e salva os contritos de espírito.
耶和華靠近傷心的人, 拯救心靈痛悔的人。
