1 Blessed are those who have regard for the weak;the Lord delivers them in times of trouble.
2 The Lord protects and preserves them –they are counted among the blessed in the land –he does not give them over to the desire of their foes.
3 The Lord sustains them on their sick-bedand restores them from their bed of illness.
4 I said, ‘Have mercy on me, Lord;heal me, for I have sinned against you.’
5 My enemies say of me in malice,‘When will he die and his name perish?’
