About this verse

David wrote Psalm 34 after escaping danger by pretending to be mad (1 Samuel 21). He had been low himself, and he tells us God comes near to the broken-hearted rather than keeping his distance.

In context · Psalm 34:16–20

The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
