[1]For the Leader. A Psalm of David.
[2]Happy is he that considereth the poor; 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 will deliver him in the day of evil.
[3]𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 preserve him, and keep him alive, let him be called happy in the land; and deliver not Thou him unto the greed of his enemies.
[4]𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 support him upon the bed o illness; mayest Thou turn all his lying down in his sickness.
[5]As for me, I said: 'O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, be gracious unto me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against Thee.'
[6]Mine enemies speak evil of me: 'When shall he die, and his name perish?'
[7]And if one come to see me, he speaketh falsehood; his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he speaketh of it.
[8]All that hate me whispe together against me, against me do they devise my hurt:
[9]'An evil thing cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he lieth, he shall rise up no more.'
[10]Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
[11]But Thou, O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
[12]By this I know that Thou delightest in me, that mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
[13]And as for me, Thou upholdest me because of mine integrity, and settest me before Thy face for ever.
[14]Blessed be 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
