Blessed is he who cares for the poor

(John 13:18-30)

How fortunate are those who provide for the poor; Yahweh will rescue those people when they have troubles.

Yahweh will protect them and allow them to live for a long time. He will enable them to be happy in the land of Israel and will rescue them from their enemies.

When they are sick, Yahweh will strengthen them and will heal them.

When I was sick, I said, “Yahweh, act mercifully toward me and heal me; I know that I am sick because I have sinned against you.”

My enemies say cruel things about me; they say, “How soon will he die, and then everyone will forget about him?”

When my enemies come to me, they pretend to be concerned about me. They eagerly listen to all the bad news about me. Then they go away and tell everyone what is happening to me.

All those who hate me whisper to others about me, and they hope that very bad things will happen to me.

They say, “He will soon die because of his being sick; he will never get up from his bed before he dies.”

Even a very close friend, whom I trusted very much, who often ate with me, has betrayed me.

But Yahweh, act mercifully to me, and enable me to become healthy again. When you do that, I will be able to pay back my enemies.

If you enable me to do that, with the result that my enemies do not defeat me, I will know that you are pleased with me.

I will know that it is because I have done what is right that you have helped me, and I will know that you will enable me to be with you forever.

Praise Yahweh, the God whom we Israelites worship; Praise him forever! Amen! I desire that it will be so!

Blessed is he who cares for the poor

(John 13:18-30)

Blessed is he who considers the poor. The LORD will deliver him in the day of evil.

The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies.

The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.

I said, “LORD, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”

My enemies speak evil against me: “When will he die, and his name perish?”

If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.

All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me.

“An evil disease”, they say, “has afflicted him. Now that he lies he shall rise up no more.”

Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate bread with me, has lifted up his heel against me.

But you, LORD, have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.

By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn’t triumph over me.

As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.

Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting! Amen and amen.
