For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
[1] Blessed is he who considers the poor.Yahweh will deliver him in the day of evil.
[2] Yahweh will preserve him, and keep him alive.
He shall be blessed on the earth,
and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies.
[3] Yahweh will sustain him on his sickbed,
and restore him from his bed of illness.
[4] I said, “Yahweh, have mercy on me!
Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”
[5] My enemies speak evil against me:
“When will he die, and his name perish?”
[6] If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood.
His heart gathers iniquity to itself.
When he goes abroad, he tells it.
[7] All who hate me whisper together against me.
They imagine the worst for me.
[8] “An evil disease”, they say, “has afflicted him.
Now that he lies he shall rise up no more.”
[9] Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted,
who ate bread with me,
has lifted up his heel against me. [10] But you, Yahweh, have mercy on me, and raise me up,
that I may repay them.
[11] By this I know that you delight in me,
because my enemy doesn’t triumph over me.
[12] As for me, you uphold me in my integrity,
and set me in your presence forever. [13] Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel,
from everlasting and to everlasting!
Amen and amen.
King James Version
To the chief Musician, H5329 A Psalm H4210 of David. H1732
[1] Blessed H835 is he that considereth H7919 the poor: H1800§The Lord H3068 will deliver H4422 him in time H3117 of trouble. H7451§
[2] The Lord H3068 will preserve H8104 him, and keep him alive; H2421 and he shall be blessed H833 upon the earth: H776
And thou wilt not deliver H5414 him§ unto the will H5315 of his enemies. H341
[3] The Lord H3068 will strengthen H5582 him upon the bed H6210 of languishing: H1741
Thou wilt make H2015§ all H3605 his bed H4904 in his sickness. H2483
[4] I said, H559 Lord, H3068 be merciful H2603 unto me:
Heal H7495 my soul; H5315 for H3588 I have sinned H2398 against thee.
[5] Mine enemies H341 speak H559 evil H7451 of me,
When shall he die, H4191 and his name H8034 perish? H6
[6] And if he come H935 to see H7200 me, he speaketh H1696 vanity: H7723
His heart H3820 gathereth H6908 iniquity H205 to itself; When he goeth H3318 abroad, H2351 he telleth H1696 it.
[7] All H3605 that hate H8130 me whisper H3907 together H3162 against H5921 me:
Against me do they devise H2803 my hurt. H7451§
[8] An evil H1100 disease, H1697§ say they, cleaveth fast H3332 unto him:
And now that he lieth H7901 he shall rise up H6965 no more. H3254
[9] Yea, mine own familiar H7965 friend, H376§ in whom I trusted, H982
Which H834 did eat H398 of my bread, H3899 hath lifted up H1431 his heel H6119 against me.
[10] But thou, O Lord, H3068 be merciful H2603 unto me,
And raise me up, H6965 that I may requite H7999 them.
[11] By this I know H3045 that thou favourest H2654 me,
Because mine enemy H341 doth not H3808 triumph H7321 over me.
[12] And as for me, thou upholdest H8551 me in mine integrity, H8537
And settest H5324 me before thy face H6440 for ever. H5769
[13] Blessed H1288 be the Lord H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478
From everlasting, H5769 and to everlasting. H5769 Amen, H543 and Amen. H543
