The Blessing and Suffering of the Godly

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

1 Blessed is he who considers the1 poor;
The Lord will deliver him in time of trouble. 
2 The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive,
And he will be blessed on the earth;
aYou will not deliver him to the will of his enemies. 
3 The Lord will strengthen him on his bed of illness;
You will1 sustain him on his sickbed. 
4 I said, “Lord, be merciful to me;
aHeal my soul, for I have sinned against You.” 
5 My enemies speak evil of me:
“When will he die, and his name perish?”
6 And if he comes to see me, he speaks1 lies;
His heart gathers iniquity to itself;
When he goes out, he tells it. 
7 All who hate me whisper together against me;
Against me they1 devise my hurt. 
8 “An1 evil disease,” they say, “clings to him.
And now that he lies down, he will rise up no more.” 
9 aEven my own familiar friend in whom I trusted,
bWho ate my bread,
Has1 lifted up his heel against me. 
10 But You, O Lord, be merciful to me, and raise me up,
That I may repay them.
11 By this I know that You are well pleased with me,
Because my enemy does not triumph over me.
12 As for me, You uphold me in my integrity,
And aset me before Your face forever. 
13 aBlessed be the Lord God of Israel
From everlasting to everlasting!
Amen and Amen.
