What it means
God is not only near to the brokenhearted; He tends them. The image is of a healer dressing wounds one at a time.
A psalm of praise that moves from the stars He names to the wounds He binds. The God of galaxies stoops to bandage.
Where it addresses you
A wound is not closing and you wonder if it ever will.
You need to be tended, not fixed.
Found in Grief & Lament, God’s care.
