[a]Blessed is he who has concern for the weak;
    in time of trouble the Lord will deliver him.
The Lord will protect him and keep him alive;
    he will make him happy on earth
    and not abandon him to the will of his enemies.
The Lord will sustain him on his sickbed
    and bring him back to health.
