1 Blessed is he that understands regarding the poor; the Lord will deliver him in the day of evil.
2 The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive, and he shall be blessed upon the earth, and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.
3 The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing; thou wilt soften all his bed in his sickness.
4 I said, Lord, be merciful unto me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
5 My enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die and his name perish?
