"When the poor cry out, YAHWEH hears
and saves them from distress.
YAHWEH's angel encamps and patrols,
to keep safe those who fear HIM.
Revere YAHWEH, all you, HIS saints,
for those who fear HIM do not live in want.
The mighty may be hungry and in need;
but those who seek YAHWEH lack nothing.
Come, listen to ME, MY children;
I will show you how to fear YAHWEH.
If you desire long life;
if you want to enjoy prosperity,"
(This is a song for martyrs: the LORD sets them free from all their terrors. It is also a song for the small martyrdoms of every day, whether volunteered or simply accepted.
Let our experience be that of the poor and the humble. GOD is near to those who have no other support but HIM. When there will be no assurance, GOD will be obliged, to take charge of those to whom HE owes fidelity.)
