| | 1 | For the director of music. A psalm of David. Blessed is he who has regard for the weak; the LORD delivers him in times of trouble. | |
| | 2 | The LORD will protect him and preserve his life; he will bless him in the land and not surrender him to the desire of his foes. | |
| | 3 | The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed and restore him from his bed of illness. | |
| | 4 | I said, "O LORD, have mercy on me; heal me, for I have sinned against you." | |
| | 5 | My enemies say of me in malice, "When will he die and his name perish?" | |
| | 6 | Whenever one comes to see me, he speaks falsely, while his heart gathers slander; then he goes out and spreads it abroad. | |
| | 7 | All my enemies whisper together against me; they imagine the worst for me, saying, | |
| | 8 | "A vile disease has beset him; he will never get up from the place where he lies." | |
| | 9 | Even my close friend, whom I trusted, he who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me. | |
| | 10 | But you, O LORD, have mercy on me; raise me up, that I may repay them. | |
| | 11 | I know that you are pleased with me, for my enemy does not triumph over me. | |
| | 12 | In my integrity you uphold me and set me in your presence forever. | |
| | 13 | Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen. | |
