18. The Lord is nigh untothem that are of a broken heart. Near in friendship to
accept and console. Broken hearts think God far away, when he is really most
near to them; their eyes are held so that they see not their best friend. Andsayeth such as be of a contrite spirit. What a blessed token for good is a
repentant, mourning heart! Just when the sinner condemns himself, the Lord
graciously absolves him. Salvation is linked with contrition.
