Psalms 146:5-8
Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in the Lord his God, 6 Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that is in them; Who keeps truth forever, 7 Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives food to the hungry. The Lord gives freedom to the prisoners. 8 The Lord opens the eyes of the blind; The Lord raises those who are bowed down; The Lord loves the righteous.

True joy is in knowing the God who calls us out, knowing the awe of all He made around us - giving credit to the Creator. He is always true because He is truth. He is just and merciful, yet hates continued disobedience and must deal with it. He sets us free from the bondage of our rebellion of sin against all He wants for us - and opens our eyes to see it as He does. He lifts up those seeking Him and trusting Him.
