Oscar Pistorius has broken a five month Twitter silence to post a quote from the Bible.
The paralympian put a picture on his page of Psalm 34 saying 'the Lord is close to the broken hearted'.
The South African also tweeted a prayer asking God to 'bathe those who live in pain in the river of healing'.
The court case in which he's accused of killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp is set to hear closing arguments from the prosecution and defence 7 and 8 August.
He denies murder - claiming he shot through a door after mistaking her for a burglar.
A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
