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