Psalms 145:14
12 to make known to men Your mighty acts and the glorious splendor of Your kingdom.
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion endures through all generations. The LORD is faithful in all His words and kind in all His actions.
The LORD upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.
15 The eyes of all look to You, and You give them their food in season.
16 You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
