138:6 Though the Lord is exalted, he takes note of the lowly,
and recognizes the proud from far away.
57:15 For this is what the high and exalted one says,
the one who rules 1 forever, whose name is holy:
“I dwell in an exalted and holy place,
but also with the discouraged and humiliated, 2
in order to cheer up the humiliated
and to encourage the discouraged. 3
66:2 My hand made them; 4
that is how they came to be,” 5 says the Lord.
I show special favor 6 to the humble and contrite,
who respect what I have to say. 7
