Blessed are those who care for others with kindness,
for You, O Lord, uphold them in their time of need.
When they are weary, You strengthen them;
when they are troubled, You lift them up.
You protect them in times of trial
and surround them with Your gentle care.
Even in sickness, You are near,
restoring them with Your healing touch.
O Lord, be merciful to me;
lift my soul when I grow weak.
Though there are those who speak against me,
You are my refuge and my defense.
Even those I trusted have turned away,
but You, O God, remain faithful forever.
You uphold me in Your love
and set me in Your presence always.
Blessed be the Lord, the God of all,
from now and throughout all time!
Amen and amen.
