Psalms 40:14-17. Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil. Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, "Aha, aha." Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified. But I am poor and needy; yet the LORD thinketh upon me: thou are my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
"But I am poor and needy; yet" - oh blessed "yet" - "Yet the Lord thinketh upon me." He does not throw me a penny and pass on as we often do to the poor and needy, but He stops and thinks. Yet He makes no tarrying. He answers the cry of his people and comes in haste to deliver them.
