1. Unto the end, a psalm for David himself.
2. Blessed is he that understandeth concerning the needy and the poor: the Lord will deliver him in the evil day.
3. The Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth: and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies.
4. The Lord help him on his bed of sorrow: thou hast turned all his couch in his sickness.
5. I said: O Lord, be thou merciful to me: heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.
6. My enemies have spoken evils against me: when shall he die and his name perish?
7. And if he came in to see me, he spoke vain things: his heart gathered together iniquity to itself. He went out and spoke to the same purpose.
