I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted,
and the right of the poor.
Psalm 140: 12
Themes of mercy, faith, love, kindness, hope . . .

Yesterday, as I was reading The Psalms, I especially noted the word lovingkindness. This morning I looked up a few examples of verses.
How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God!
therefore the children of men put their trust
under the shadow of thy wings.
Psalm 36: 7 (KJV)
Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord:
let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
Psalm 40: 11 (KJV)
Yet the Lord will command
his lovingkindness in the daytime,
and in the night his song shall be with me,
and my prayer unto the God of my life.
Psalm 42: 8 (KJV)
