Stretch out your hands to the poor according to your strength.

2Hide not your silver in the earth.

3Help the faithful man in affliction, and affliction will not find you in the time of your trouble.

4And every grievous and cruel yoke that come upon you bear all for the sake of the Lord, and thus you will find your reward in the day of judgment.

5It is good to go morning, midday, and evening into the Lord’s dwelling, for the glory of your creator.

6Because every breathing (thing) glorifies him, and every creature visible (physical) and invisible (spiritual) returns him praise.
