To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Blessed [is] he who considers the poor; The LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.

The LORD will preserve him and keep him alive, [And] he will be blessed on the earth; You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

For You, O God, have heard my vows; You have given [me] the heritage of those who fear Your name.

Surely His salvation [is] near to those who fear Him, That glory may dwell in our land.

For as the heavens are high above the earth, [So] great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;

He has given food to those who fear Him; He will ever be mindful of His covenant.

He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry and save them.

The wicked [man] does deceptive work, But he who sows righteousness [will have] a sure reward.

He who has pity on the poor lends to the LORD, And He will pay back what he has given.

Though a sinner does evil a hundred [times,] and his [days] are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him.

" Say to the righteous that [it shall be] well [with them,] For they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

"And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold [water] in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward."

"And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did [it] to one of the least of these My brethren, you did [it] to Me.'

And His mercy [is] on those who fear Him From generation to generation.

For God [is] not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, [in that] you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

But the children of Israel were fruitful and increased abundantly, multiplied and grew exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them.

But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were in dread of the children of Israel.
