1. Blessed is he who considers the poor;The Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
2. The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive,And he will be blessed on the earth;You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies.
3. The Lord will strengthen him on his bed of illness;You will sustain him on his sickbed.
4. I said, “Lord, be merciful to me;Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.”
5. My enemies speak evil of me:“When will he die, and his name perish?”
6. And if he comes to see me, he speaks lies;His heart gathers iniquity to itself;When he goes out, he tells it.
7. All who hate me whisper together against me;Against me they devise my hurt.
