Psalm 40:1-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

40 Unto the end, a psalm for David himself.

² Blessed is he that understandeth concerning the needy and the poor: the Lord will deliver him in the evil day.

³ The Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth: and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies.

⁴ The Lord help him on his bed of sorrow: thou hast turned all his couch in his sickness.
