1To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Blessed is the one acting wisely to the poor one; Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.

2Jehovah will watch over him and keep him alive; he shall be blessed on the earth, and You will not give him into the soul of his enemies.

3Jehovah will uphold him on the couch of sickness; You change all his bed in his sickness.

4I said, O Jehovah be gracious to me; heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.

5My enemies speak evil of me, saying, When will he die and his name perish?

6And when he comes to see me he speaks vanity; his heart gathers iniquity to itself; he goes outside and speaks.

7Together all the ones hating me whisper against me; they plot evil toward me,

8saying, A thing of ruin is poured out on him; and, He who lies down shall not rise again.

9Even a man desiring my well-being, I trusted in him, eating of my bread; this one has lifted up his heel against me.

10But You, O Jehovah, be gracious to me and raise me up, and I will repay them.

11By this I know that You delight in me, because my enemy does not exult over me.

12And I, in my integrity You uphold me, and You set Your face before me forever.

13Blessed be Jehovah, God of Israel, even from everlasting to everlasting! Amen and Amen!
