1. Blessed is he that understandeth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.
2. Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive; he shall be made happy in the land; and thou wilt not deliver him to the will of his enemies.
3. Jehovah will sustain him upon the bed of languishing: thou turnest all his bed in his sickness.
4. As for me, I said, Jehovah, be gracious unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
5. Mine enemies wish me evil: When will he die, and his name perish?
6. And if one come to see me, he speaketh falsehood; his heart gathereth wickedness to itself: he goeth abroad, he telleth it.
7. All that hate me whisper together against me; against me do they devise my hurt.
