Lyrics
Blessed is he who considereth the poor;
The Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive,
And he shall be blessed upon the earth;
An thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.

The Lord will sustain him upon his sickbed;
In his illness, You restore him to health.
I said, "O Lord, be merciful unto me;
Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You."

And as for me, Thou upholdest me in mine integrity,
And settest me before thy face forever.

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel
Everlasting to everlasting.
Amen and Amen
