1. Happy is one who cares for the poor;the Lord will save him in a day of adversity.
2. The Lord will keep him and preserve him;he will be blessed in the land. You will not give him over to the desire of his enemies.
3. The Lord will sustain him on his sickbed;You will heal him on the bed where he lies.
4. I said, “Lord, be gracious to me;heal me, for I have sinned against You.”
5. My enemies speak maliciously about me:“When will he die and be forgotten? ”
6. When one of them comes to visit, he speaks deceitfully;he stores up evil in his heart;he goes out and talks.
7. All who hate me whisper together about me;they plan to harm me.
8. “Lethal poison has been poured into him,and he won’t rise again from where he lies! ”
9. Even my friend in whom I trusted,one who ate my bread,has raised his heel against me.
10. But You, Lord, be gracious to me and raise me up;then I will repay them.
