1 (2) Blessed is he that considereth the helpless; Hashem will deliver him in time of ra'ah (evil, trouble).
2 (3) Hashem will be shomer over him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed in ha'aretz; and Thou wilt not surrender him unto the desire of his enemies.
3 (4) Hashem will support him upon the sickbed; in his illness, all his bedridden languishing Thou wilt change (i.e., toward recovery).
4 (5) I said, Hashem, channeni (be gracious unto me); heal my nefesh; for I have sinned against Thee.
5 (6) Mine enemies speak rah (evil) of me: When will he die, and shmo (his name) perish?
