Charles H. Spurgeon on Psalms 145:14

The grace of God in his kindness to the undeserving and the miserable, who look to him for help.

1. He "upholdeth all that fall."

(a) A description, embracing (1) Sinners who have fallen lowest: (2) Backsliders who have tripped most foully.

(b) An act implying (1) Pity which draws nigh; (2) Power which places the fallen upon their feet; (3) Preservation which keeps them standing.

2. He "raiseth up all those that are bowed down." Consolation for those who are —

(a) Bowed down with shame and penitence.

(b) Oppressed with perplexities and cares.

(c) Weighted with a sense of weakness in the presence of onerous duties.

(d) Depressed because of prevailing error and sin around them. —J. F.
