A Wise Man

Integrity is the testimony of the righteous
An honest heart is his delight
For whatsoever he doeth,
He doeth with all his might.
He studies the Torah with diligence
When he arises the morning prayers are said.
When he eats he blesses the Almighty
He prayeth the psalms before going to bed.
A wise man prays in season.
He delays not to pay his vow.
He neglects not to help the needy.
Before an image he doth not bow.
He blesseth the poor in the poverty.
He visits the sick in their bed.
He helps the widows and orphans.
With his neighbor he mourns their dead.
He teacheth the simple his wisdom.
He strives not with a foolish mind.
He keeps his hand from evil.
To his neighbor his words are kind.
 By: Jonathan Hollis
Blessed is he that considereth the poor:
The Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
Psalm 41:1
