In the Greek Bible translation of Psalm 34.19 (33.19 Psalm LXX / Septuagint is ):
"The Lord is close to those who are wounded in the heart (hearts are broken in),
and the lowly / humble in spirit ( tous tapeinous to pneumatic ) it shall be ! save " The
is immediately struck me as illuminating parallel passage to Matthew 5.3: "Blessed are the poor in spirit". The parallelismus membrorum in Psalm 33.19 ( LXX) makes the first line to explain the second line. "Poor in spirit" is the one who was wounded in the heart. But what is meant by that? could be in the context of Psalm 34 (LXX 33 ) is an emergency situation, meant an affliction that has weakened the inner strength, but also thought the knowledge of sin. In any case, it's about people who are in a situation of internal or external weakness, from which she saves the good Lord (Psalm 34, 7-9).
