| 1. | Unto the end, a psalm for David himself. |
| 2. | Blessed is he that understandeth concerning the needy and the poor : the Lord will deliver him in the evil day. |
| 3. | The Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth : and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies. |
| 4. | The Lord help him on his bed of sorrow : thou hast turned all his couch in his sickness. |
| 5. | I said: O Lord, be thou merciful to me : heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee. |
| 6. | My enemies have spoken evils against me: when shall he die and his name perish? |
| 7. | And if he came in to see me, he spoke vain things : his heart gathered together iniquity to itself. He went out and spoke to the same purpose. |
| 8. | All my enemies whispered together against me : they devised evils to me. |
| 9. | They determined against me an unjust word : shall he that sleepeth rise again no more? |
| 10. | For even the man of peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, hath greatly supplanted me. |
| 11. | But thou, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again : and I will requite them. |
| 12. | By this I know, that thou hast had a good will for me : because my enemy shall not rejoice over me. |
| 13. | But thou hast upheld me by reason of my innocence : and hast established me in thy sight for ever. |
| 14. | Blessed by the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity. So be it. So be it. |
