The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
The Lord preserves those who are simple in heart, guarding them with tender care when they lack human wisdom or strength. When such a person is brought down into weakness, affliction, or humiliation, He comes to their aid and lifts them up. These words were sung by Jesus on the night before His betrayal and death, as He faced the shadow of the cross. Even amid deep sorrow and surrounding danger, the song expressed unwavering trust in God as preserver and helper.
