1 Blessed are those who consider the poor;the Lord will deliver them in the day of trouble.
2 The Lord will preserve them and keep them alive,and they will be blessed on the earth,and You will not deliver them to the will of their enemies.
3 The Lord will sustain them on the sickbed;You will restore all his lying down in his illness.
4 I said, “Lord, be gracious 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 people come to see me, they speak insincerely;their heart gathers iniquity to itself,when they go outside, they tell it.
7 All who hate me whisper together against me;they devise harm against me.
