Psalm 34:18, "The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."

It is the character of the righteous, whose prayers God will hear, they are of a broken heart and a contrite spirit (that is, humbled because of sin and emptied of self); they are low in their own eyes and have no confidence in their own merit and sufficiency, but in God only. Though God is high and dwells on high, he is near to those who, being of a contrite spirit, know how to value his favor, and will save them from sinking under their brokenness and their burdens.
