How blessed is he who aconsiders
the 1helpless
; The LORD
will deliver
him bin a day
of 2trouble
.
The LORD will aprotect
him and keep
him alive
, And he shall 1be called
bblessed
upon the earth
; And cdo not give
him over to the desire
of his enemies
.
The LORD will sustain
him upon his sickbed
; In his illness
, You 1restore
him to health
.
As for me, I said, "O LORD
, be gracious
to me; aHeal
my soul
, for bI have sinned
against You."
My enemies aspeak
evil
against me, "When
will he die
, and his name
perish
?"
And 1when he comes
to see
me, he aspeaks
2falsehood
; His heart
gathers
wickedness
to itself; When he goes
outside
, he tells
it.
All who hate
me whisper
together
against
me; Against
me they adevise
my hurt
, saying,
"A wicked thing
is poured
out 1upon him, That when
he lies
down
, he will anot rise
up again
."
Even my aclose
friend
in whom
I trusted
, Who ate
my bread
, Has lifted
up his heel
against
me.
But You, O LORD, be gracious
to me and araise
me up, That I may repay
them.
By this I know
that aYou are pleased
with me, Because
bmy enemy
does not shout
in triumph
over
me.
As for me, aYou uphold me in my integrity
, And You set
me bin Your presence
forever
.
aBlessed be the LORD
, the God
of Israel
, From everlasting
to everlasting
. Amen
and Amen
.
