Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 145:14

"Jehovah upholdeth all that fall, And raiseth up all those that are bowed down." — Psalms 145:14 (ASV)

The Lord. . It marks a grand step in theology when the first instance of majesty of the Divine Being is sought in His condescension to human weakness and pity for frailty and want. The pagans had seen that this was king-like —

“Regia (crede mihi) res est succurrere lapsis.”

OVID: Ep. de Ponto 11., 9, 11.

But they had hardly seen that it was also god-like.

For “raiseth” and “bowed down,” see Psalms 146:8.
