But I am poor and needy;\par\tab {\i Yet} the Lord thinketh upon me:\par\tab Thou art my help and my deliverer;\par\tab Make no tarrying, O my God.\par
The poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst; I, Jehovah, will answer them, I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.
Many, O Jehovah my God, are the wonderful works which thou hast done,\par\tab And thy thoughts which are to us-ward;\par\tab They cannot be set in order unto thee;\par\tab If I would declare and speak of them,\par\tab They are more than can be numbered.
Hearken, my beloved brethren; did not God choose them that are poor as to the world {\i to be} rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him?
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might become rich.
Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause:\par\tab Yea, let them say continually, Jehovah be magnified,\par\tab Who hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is Jehovah; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
