   1   Happy the man who has a concern for the helpless!
  The Lord will save him in time of trouble.
   2   The Lord protects him and gives him life,
    making him secure in the land;
  the Lord never leaves him ^note to the greed of his enemies.
     3   He nurses him on his sick-bed;
  he turns ^note his bed when he is ill.

4   But I said, ‘Lord, be gracious to me;
heal me, for I have sinned against thee.’
5   ‘His case is desperate,’ my enemies say;
‘when will he die, and his line become extinct?’
6   All who visit me speak from an empty heart,
alert to gather bad news;
  then they go out to spread it abroad.
7   All who hate me whisper together about me
and love to make the worst of everything:

Book 1
   8   ‘An evil spell is cast upon him;
he is laid on his bed, and will rise no more.’
9   Even the friend whom I trusted, who ate at my table, ^note
    exults over my misfortune.
10   O Lord, be gracious and restore me,
  that I may pay them out to the full. ^note
11   Then I shall know that thou delightest in me
  and that my enemy will not triumph over me.
12   But I am upheld by thee because of my innocence;
  thou keepest me for ever in thy sight.

   13   Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
    from everlasting to everlasting.

      Amen, Amen.
