Psalms 34:18

The Lord (Yahweh) is close to those who have a broken (shattered) heart,
he saves (frees) those who have a contrite [completely broken and crushed] spirit.
[The nineteenth Hebrew letter is: ק – Qof. The character depicts the eye of a needle or the back of a head and is also an image of standing behind someone and helping them. The word for "near" begins with this letter, emphasizing that the Lord is near to those who are brokenhearted. The Hebrew word for "broken" comes from the verb shavar (to break/shatter). The piel verb form intensifies and describes something that is crushed and broken into pieces. In the next verse, daka is used, which in Ps. 90:3 is described as "dust." Two very graphic representations of those who are completely dependent on God Ps. 51:19; Isa. 57:15; 61:1.]
