Psalm 145:19

He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him. He also will hear their cry, and will save them.

17The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and gracious in all his works.
18The LORD is near to all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.
19He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him. He also will hear their cry, and will save them.
20The LORD preserves all those who love him, but he will destroy all the wicked.
21My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD. Let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.
