1 | Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver
him in time of trouble. |
|
2 | The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall
be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto
the will of his enemies. |
|
3 | The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou
wilt make all his bed in his sickness. |
|
4 | I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have
sinned against thee. |
|
5 | Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name
perish? |
|
6 | And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart
gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth
it. |
|
7 | All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do
they devise my hurt. |
|
8 | An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now
that he lieth he shall rise up no more. |
|
9 | Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did
eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me. |
|
10 | But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I
may requite them. |
|
11 | By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth
not triumph over me. |
|
12 | And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and
settest me before thy face for ever. |
|
13 | Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to
everlasting. Amen, and Amen. |
