1 For the choir director. Of David. How blessed is he who considers the poor; Yahweh will provide him escape in a day of calamity. Blessed is the one who considers the poor! In the day of trouble the LORD delivers him; For the director of music. A psalm of David. Blessed are those who have regard for the weak; the LORD delivers them in times of trouble.
2 Yahweh will keep him and keep him alive, And he shall be blessed upon the earth; And do not give him over to the desire of his enemies. the LORD protects him and keeps him alive; he is called blessed in the land; you do not give him up to the will of his enemies. The LORD protects and preserves them— they are counted among the blessed in the land— he does not give them over to the desire of their foes.
3 Yahweh will sustain him upon his sickbed; In his illness, You restore him to health. The LORD sustains him on his sickbed; in his illness you restore him to full health. The LORD sustains them on their sickbed and restores them from their bed of illness.
4 As for me, I said, “O Yahweh, be gracious to me; Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.” As for me, I said, “O LORD, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against you!” I said, “Have mercy on me, LORD; heal me, for I have sinned against you.”
5 My enemies speak evil against me, “When will he die, and his name perish?” My enemies say of me in malice, “When will he die, and his name perish?” My enemies say of me in malice, “When will he die and his name perish?”
6 And when he comes to see me, he speaks worthlessness; His heart gathers wickedness to itself; When he goes outside, he speaks it. And when one comes to see me, he utters empty words, while his heart gathers iniquity; when he goes out, he tells it abroad. When one of them comes to see me, he speaks falsely, while his heart gathers slander; then he goes out and spreads it around.
7 All who hate me whisper together against me; Against me, they devise for me calamity, saying, All who hate me whisper together about me; they imagine the worst for me. All my enemies whisper together against me; they imagine the worst for me, saying,
8 “A vile thing is poured out upon him, That when he lies down, he will not rise up again.” They say, “A deadly thing is poured out on him; he will not rise again from where he lies.” “A vile disease has afflicted him; he will never get up from the place where he lies.”
9 Even my close friend in whom I trusted, Who ate my bread, Has lifted up his heel against me. Even my close friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me. Even my close friend, someone I trusted, one who shared my bread, has turned against me.
10 But You, O Yahweh, be gracious to me and raise me up, That I may repay them. But you, O LORD, be gracious to me, and raise me up, that I may repay them! But may you have mercy on me, LORD; raise me up, that I may repay them.
11 By this I know that You delight in me, Because my enemy makes no shout in triumph over me. By this I know that you delight in me: my enemy will not shout in triumph over me. I know that you are pleased with me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.
12 As for me, You uphold me in my integrity, And You make me stand firm in Your presence forever. But you have upheld me because of my integrity, and set me in your presence forever. Because of my integrity you uphold me and set me in your presence forever.
13 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, From everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen. Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting! Amen and Amen. Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
