**1 **\{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} Blessed *is* he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.

**2 **The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; *and* he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.

**3 **The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

**4 **I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

**5 **Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?

**6 **And if he come to see *me*, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; *when* he goeth abroad, he telleth *it*.

**7 **All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.

**8 **An evil disease, *say they*, cleaveth fast unto him: and *now* that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

**9 **Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up *his* heel against me.

**10 **But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

**11 **By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

**12 **And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.

**13 **Blessed *be* the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
