Context of Psalms 145:15

13Many years your kingdom will remain, even for ever. You will always rule your people and their descendants. Nothing that the Lord promises is false. He is kind in everything that he does. 14Often people fall, but the Lord lifts them up. He helps everyone who has trouble. People look to you for help. You give them food when they need it. 16Ready to help, you open your hand. You give to every living thing the good things that they want. 17So the Lord is fair in all that he does. He always shows how much he loves us.
