1 To the chief Musician{H5329}{H8764)}, A Psalm{H4210} of David{H1732}. Blessed{H835} is he that considereth{H7919}{H8688)} the poor{H1800}: the LORD{H3068} will deliver{H4422}{H8762)} him in time{H3117} of trouble{H7451}.

2 The LORD{H3068} will preserve{H8104}{H8799)} him, and keep him alive{H2421}{H8762)}; and he shall be blessed{H833}{H8795)} upon the earth{H776}: and thou wilt not deliver{H5414}{H8799)} him unto the will{H5315} of his enemies{H341}{H8802)}.

3 The LORD{H3068} will strengthen{H5582}{H8799)} him upon the bed{H6210} of languishing{H1741}: thou wilt make{H2015}{H8804)} all his bed{H4904} in his sickness{H2483}.

4 I said{H559}{H8804)}, LORD{H3068}, be merciful{H2603}{H8798)} unto me: heal{H7495}{H8798)} my soul{H5315}; for I have sinned{H2398}{H8804)} against thee.

5 Mine enemies{H341}{H8802)} speak{H559}{H8799)} evil{H7451} of me, When shall he die{H4191}{H8799)}, and his name{H8034} perish{H6}{H8804)}?

6 And if he come{H935}{H8804)} to see{H7200}{H8800)} me, he speaketh{H1696}{H8762)} vanity{H7723}: his heart{H3820} gathereth{H6908}{H8799)} iniquity{H205} to itself; when he goeth{H3318}{H8799)} abroad{H2351}, he telleth{H1696}{H8762)} it.

7 All that hate{H8130}{H8802)} me whisper{H3907}{H8691)} together{H3162} against me: against me do they devise{H2803}{H8799)} my hurt{H7451}.

8 An evil{H1100} disease{H1697}, say they, cleaveth fast{H3332}{H8803)} unto him: and now that he lieth{H7901}{H8804)} he shall rise up{H6965}{H8800)} no more{H3254}{H8686)}.

9 Yea, mine own familiar{H7965} friend{H376}, in whom I trusted{H982}{H8804)}, which did eat{H398}{H8802)} of my bread{H3899}, hath lifted up{H1431}{H8689)} his heel{H6119} against me.

10 But thou, O LORD{H3068}, be merciful{H2603}{H8798)} unto me, and raise me up{H6965}{H8685)}, that I may requite{H7999}{H8762)} them.

11 By this I know{H3045}{H8804)} that thou favourest{H2654}{H8804)} me, because mine enemy{H341}{H8802)} doth not triumph{H7321}{H8686)} over me.

12 And as for me, thou upholdest{H8551}{H8804)} me in mine integrity{H8537}, and settest{H5324}{H8686)} me before thy face{H6440} for ever{H5769}.

13 Blessed{H1288}{H8803)} be the LORD{H3068} God{H430} of Israel{H3478} from everlasting{H5769}, and to everlasting{H5769}. Amen{H543}, and Amen{H543}.
