"As for me, I am poor and needy; but the Lord takes thought for me."
וַאֲנִ֤י עָנִ֣י וְאֶבְיֹון֮ אֲדֹנָ֪י יַחֲשָׁ֫ב לִ֥י
Ps 40:18, RSV. In context, "the Lord devises [salvation, help, deliverance] for me." (Interesting how close this is in form to Gen 15:6: וְהֶאֱמִ֖ן בַּֽיהוָ֑ה וַיַּחְשְׁבֶ֥הָ לֹּ֖ו צְדָקָֽה, "And [Abram] believed the Lord; and he reckoned it to him as righteousness.")
