1. Blessed is the one who considers the poor! In the day of trouble the Lord delivers him;
2. the Lord protects him and keeps him alive;he is called blessed in the land;you do not give him up to the will of his enemies.
3. The Lord sustains him on his sickbed;in his illness you restore him to full health.
4. As for me, I said, “O Lord, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against you!”
5. My enemies say of me in malice,“When will he die, and his name perish?”
