Psalms 51:17

¹⁸The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.

²For my hand has made all these things, and so all these things came to be,” says the LORD: “but I will look to this man, even to he who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.

³He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.

¹⁰Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.”

³³and to love him with all the heart, with all the understanding, all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

³“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

¹²When he was in distress, he begged the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers. ¹³He prayed to him; and he was entreated by him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD was God.

¹⁷He has responded to the prayer of the destitute, and has not despised their prayer.

¹⁵For the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy, says: “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

¹⁶But don’t forget to be doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
