| 1 | For the Leader. A Psalm of David. |
| 1a | — |
| 2 | Happy is he that considereth the poor; the LORD will deliver him in the day of evil. |
| 3 | The LORD preserve him, and keep him alive, let him be called happy in the land; and deliver not Thou him unto the greed of his enemies. |
| 4 | The LORD support him upon the bed of illness; mayest Thou turn all his lying down in his sickness. |
| 5 | As for me, I said: 'O LORD, be gracious unto me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against Thee.' |
| 6 | Mine enemies speak evil of me: 'When shall he die, and his name perish?' |
| 7 | And if one come to see me, he speaketh falsehood; His heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he speaketh of it. |
| 8 | All that hate me whisper together against me, against me do they devise my hurt: |
| 9 | 'An evil thing cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he lieth, he shall rise up no more.' |
| 10 | Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who did eat of my bread, Hath lifted up his heel against me. |
| 11 | But Thou, O LORD, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them. |
| 12 | By this I know that Thou delightest in me, that mine enemy doth not triumph over me. |
| 13 | And as for me, Thou upholdest me because of mine integrity, and settest me before Thy face for ever. |
| 14 | Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen. |
