1 Happy are those who think about the poor.When trouble comes, the Lord will save them.
2 The Lord will protect them and spare their lifeand will bless them in the land.He will not let their enemies take them.
3 The Lord will give them strength when they are sick,and he will make them well again.
4 I said, “Lord, have mercy on me.Heal me, because I have sinned against you.”
5 My enemies are saying evil things about me.They say, “When will he die and be forgotten?”
