(1) Blessed is he that considereth the poor and needy:
the Lord shall deliver him in the time of trouble.
(4) … Lord, be merciful unto me:
heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.
(7) All* mine enemies whisper together against me:
(10) But be thou merciful unto me, O Lord:
raise thou me up**, and I shall reward them.
13 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel:
world without end. Amen.
