¹ Blessed is he that 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: and you will not deliver him to the will of his enemies. ³ The LORD will strengthen him on the bed of languishing: you will make all his bed in his sickness. 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 come to see me, he speaks vanity: his heart gathers iniquity to itself; when he goes abroad, he tells [it]. ⁷ All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt. ⁸ An evil disease, say they, splits fast to him: and now that he lies he will rise up no more. ⁹ Yes, mine own familiar friend, in who I trusted, which did eat of 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 requite them. ¹¹ By this I know that you favours me, because my enemy does not triumph over me. ¹² And as for me, you upholds me in mine integrity, and set me before your face forever. ¹³ Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
