¹⁴¹ Small I `am', and despised, Thy precepts I have not forgotten.

⁶ And I `am' a worm, and no man, A reproach of man, and despised of the people.

⁵ Hearken, my brethren beloved, did not God choose the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the reign that He promised to those loving Him?

⁹ for ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that because of you he became poor -- being rich, that ye by that poverty may become rich.

⁵⁸ and Jesus said to him, `The foxes have holes, and the fowls of the heaven places of rest, but the Son of Man hath not where he may recline the head.'

²⁰ And he, having lifted up his eyes to his disciples, said: `Happy the poor -- because yours is the reign of God.

³ He is despised, and left of men, A man of pains, and acquainted with sickness, And as one hiding the face from us, He is despised, and we esteemed him not.

¹ Better `is' the poor walking in his integrity, Than the perverse `in' his lips, who `is' a fool.

⁸ Better `is' a little with righteousness, Than abundance of increase without justice.

¹⁶ Better `is' a little with the fear of Jehovah, Than much treasure, and tumult with it.

¹ My son! my law forget not, And my commands let thy heart keep,

¹⁷⁶ I wandered as a lost sheep, seek Thy servant, For Thy precepts I have not forgotten!

¹⁰⁹ My soul `is' in my hand continually, And Thy law I have not forgotten.

¹⁷ And I `am' poor and needy, The Lord doth devise for me. My help and my deliverer `art' Thou, O my God, tarry Thou not.
