1 Blessed are those who have regard for the weak;
the LORD delivers them in times of trouble.
2 3 The LORD sustains them on their sickbed
and restores them from their bed of illness. 4 I said, "Have mercy on me, LORD;
heal me, for I have sinned against you."
5 My enemies say of me in malice,
"When will he die and his name perish?"
6 Whenever they come to see me,
they speak falsely, while their hearts gather slander;
then they go out and spread it abroad. 7 All my enemies whisper together against me;
they imagine the worst for me, saying,
8 "A vile disease has beset him;
he will never get up from the place where he lies."
9 Even my close friend,
someone I trusted,
one who shared my bread,
has lifted up his heel against me. 10 But may you have mercy on me, LORD;
raise me up, that I may repay them.
11 I know that you are pleased with me,
for my enemy does not triumph over me.
12 In my integrity you uphold me
and set me in your presence forever.
13 Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting.
Amen and Amen.
