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.

[1] Blessed H835 is he that considereth H7919 (HiphPtc) the poor: H1800§The Lord H3068 will deliver H4422 (PielImpf) him in time H3117 of trouble. H7451§
[2] The Lord H3068 will preserve H8104 (QalImpf) him, and keep him alive; H2421 (PielImpf) and he shall be blessed H833 (PualPerf) upon the earth: H776

[4] I said, H559 (QalPerf) Lord, H3068 be merciful H2603 (QalImpv) unto me:
Heal H7495 (QalImpv) my soul; H5315 for I have sinned H2398 (QalPerf) against thee.
[5] Mine enemies H341 (QalActPtc) speak H559 (QalImpf) evil H7451 of me,
When shall he die, H4191 (QalImpf) and his name H8034 perish? H6 (QalPerf)
[6] And if he come H935 (QalPerf) to see H7200 (QalInf) me, he speaketh H1696 (PielImpf) vanity: H7723
His heart H3820 gathereth H6908 (QalImpf) iniquity H205 to itself; When he goeth H3318 (QalImpf) abroad, H2351 he telleth H1696 (PielImpf) it.

And raise me up, H6965 (HiphImpv) that I may requite H7999 (PielImpf) them.
[11] By this I know H3045 (QalPerf) that thou favourest H2654 (QalPerf) me,
Because mine enemy H341 (QalActPtc) doth not triumph H7321 (HiphImpf) over me.
[12] And as for me, thou upholdest H8551 (QalPerf) me in mine integrity, H8537
