acting wisely towards the poor

Psa 41:1-4[To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.] Blessed is he who acts wisely toward the poor;  1st blessing...YAHWEH will deliver him in the day of evil.
2nd blessing...YAHWEH will watch over him and 3rd blessing...keep him alive; 4th blessing...he shall be blessed on the earth, and 5th blessing...You will not deliver him to the soul of his enemies.
6th blessing...YAHWEH will uphold him on the couch of sickness; 7th blessing...You change all his bed in his sickness.
(and finally...) I said, O YAHWEH be gracious to me; heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.

perhaps there is so much sickness on the earth and in the kehillot - the body of Messiah, because we do not act wisely concerning the poor among us and all around us...

even I stuggle today with this Word and revelation...

Father, forgive me when i have missed the mark and not taken the opportunity to bless those less fortunate than myself.
open my eyes and ears, physically and spiritually, to the needs of those around me and let me be a blessing to those you love...

when i act wisely to the poor - YOU...

1. will deliver me in the day of evil...
2. will watch over me...
3. will keep me alive...
4. will bless me on earth...
5. will not deliver me to the soul of my enemies...
6. will uphoild me on my couch of sickness...
7. will change my bed in sickness...

thank you, Avi! Baruch Hashem!
