The Blessed: The Bountiful

Give generously to him, and do not let your heart be grieved when you do so. And because of this the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in everything to which you put your hand.

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Blessed is the one who cares for the poor; the LORD will deliver him in the day of trouble.

A generous man will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor.

But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

…and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
