|
1 |
Blessed is he who considers the poor;
The LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.
|
|
|
2 |
The LORD will preserve him and keep him alive,
And he will be blessed on the earth;
You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies.
|
|
3 |
The LORD will strengthen him on his bed of illness;
You will sustain him on his sickbed.
|
|
4 |
I said, “LORD, be merciful to me;
Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.”
|
|
5 |
My enemies speak evil of me:
“When will he die, and his name perish?”
|
|
6 |
And if he comes to see me, he speaks lies;
His heart gathers iniquity to itself;
When he goes out, he tells it.
|
|
7 |
All who hate me whisper together against me;
Against me they devise my hurt.
|
|
8 |
“An evil disease,” they say, “clings to him.
And now that he lies down, he will rise up no more.”
|
|
9 |
Even my own familiar friend in whom I trusted,
Who ate my bread,
Has lifted up his heel against me.
|
|
10 |
But You, O LORD, be merciful to me, and raise me up,
That I may repay them.
|
|
11 |
By this I know that You are well pleased with me,
Because my enemy does not triumph over me.
|
|
12 |
As for me, You uphold me in my integrity,
And set me before Your face forever.
|
|
13 |
Blessed be the LORD God of Israel
From everlasting to everlasting!
Amen and Amen.
