Psalms 145:17
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.
The LORD is righteous in all His ways and kind in all His deeds.
18 The LORD is near to all who call on Him, to all who call out to Him in truth.
19 He fulfills the desires of those who fear Him; He hears their cry and saves them.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
