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?
