1Blessed is he that judgeth wisely of the poor: the Lord shall deliver him in the time of trouble.
2The Lord will keep him and preserve him alive, he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.
3The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of sorrow: thou hast turned all his bed in his sickness.
4Therefore I said, Lord have mercy upon me: heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.
5Mine enemies speak evil of me, saying, When shall he die, and his name perish?
6And if he come to see me, he speaketh lies, but his heart heapeth iniquity within him, and when he cometh forth, he telleth it.
7All they that hate me whisper together against me: even against me do they imagine mine hurt.
8A mischief is light upon him, and he that lieth, shall no more rise.
9Yea, my familiar friend, whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up the heel against me.
10Therefore, O Lord, have mercy upon me, and raise me up: so shall I reward them.
11By this I know that thou favorest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph against me.
12And as for me thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and dost set me before thy face forever.
13Blessed be the Lord God of Israel world without end. So be it, even so be it.
