1

Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.

2

The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.

The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

I said, Lord, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Dominion Over Creation

This verse describes God's preservation and blessing of an individual, not humanity's authority or control over the natural world or other living things. The "enemies" mentioned are clearly human, not elements of creation.

Stewardship of Creation

This verse focuses entirely on the preservation and blessing of an individual by the Lord, and does not contain any language or concepts related to humanity's role in tending, keeping, or managing creation. There is no mention of a garden, responsibility, or the earth as something to be stewarded.
