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.

- 1 How blessed is he who considers the helpless; The LORD will deliver him in a day of trouble.
- 2 The LORD will protect him and keep him alive, And he shall be called blessed upon the earth; And do not give him over to the desire of his enemies.
- 3 The LORD will sustain him upon his sickbed; In his illness, You restore him to health.
- 4 As for me, I said, “O LORD, be gracious to me; Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.”
- 5 My enemies speak evil against me, “When will he die, and his name perish?”
- 6 And when he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood; His heart gathers wickedness to itself; When he goes outside, he tells it.
- 7 All who hate me whisper together against me; Against me they devise my hurt, saying,
- 8 “A wicked thing is poured out upon him, That when he lies down, he will not rise up again.”
- 9 Even my close friend in whom I trusted, Who ate my bread, Has lifted up his heel against me.
- 10 But You, O LORD, be gracious to me and raise me up, That I may repay them.
- 11 By this I know that You are pleased with me, Because my enemy does not shout in triumph over me.
- 12 As for me, You uphold me in my integrity, And You set me in Your presence forever.
- 13 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, From everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
