[14] The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.
All — All that look up to him for help.
[15] The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season.
All — Of all living creatures.
Wait — Expect their supplies wholly from thy bounty. Expectation is here figuratively ascribed to brute creatures.
[18] The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
Nigh — To answer their prayers.
In truth — With an upright heart.
