41 Happy is anyone who shows consideration to the lowly one;+

Jehovah will rescue him in the day of calamity.

17 The one showing favor to the lowly is lending to Jehovah,+

And He will repay* him for what he does.+

 7 It is to share your bread with the hungry,+

To bring the poor and homeless into your house,

To clothe someone naked when you see him,+

And not to turn your back on your own flesh.

 8 Then your light will shine through like the dawn,+

And your healing will spring up quickly.

Your righteousness will go before you,

And the glory of Jehovah will be your rear guard.+
