1 Happy is the man who gives thought to the poor; the Lord will be his saviour in the time of trouble.
1 Blessed is he that understandeth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.
1Unto the end, understanding for the sons of Core.
2The Lord will keep him safe, and give him life; the Lord will let him be a blessing on the earth, and will not give him into the hand of his haters.
2 Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive; he shall be made happy in the land; and thou wilt not deliver him to the will of his enemies.
2As the hart panteth after the fountains of water; so my soul panteth after thee, O God.
3The Lord will be his support on his bed of pain: by you will all his grief be turned to strength.
3 Jehovah will sustain him upon the bed of languishing: thou turnest all his bed in his sickness.
3My soul hath thirsted after the strong living God; when shall I come and appear before the face of God?
4I said, Lord, have mercy on me; make my soul well, because my faith is in you.
4 As for me, I said, Jehovah, be gracious unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
4My tears have been my bread day and night, whilst it is said to me daily: Where is thy God?
5My haters say evil against me, When will he be dead, and his name come to an end?
5 Mine enemies wish me evil: When will he die, and his name perish?
5These things I remembered, and poured out my soul in me: for I shall go over into the place of the wonderful tabernacle, even to the house of God: With the voice of joy and praise; the noise of one feasting.
6If one comes to see me, deceit is in his heart; he keeps a store of evil, which he makes public in every place.
6 And if one come to see [me], he speaketh falsehood; his heart gathereth wickedness to itself: he goeth abroad, he telleth [it].
6Why art thou sad, O my soul? and why dost thou trouble me? Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance,
7All my haters are talking secretly together against me; they are designing my downfall.
7 All that hate me whisper together against me; against me do they devise my hurt.
7And my God. My soul is troubled within my self: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan and Hermoniim, from the little hill.
8They say, He has an evil disease, which will not let him go: and now that he is down he will not get up again.
8 A thing of Belial cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he is laid down, he will rise up no more.
8Deep calleth on deep, at the noise of thy flood-gates. All thy heights and thy billows have passed over me.
9Even my dearest friend, in whom I had faith, who took bread with me, is turned against me.
9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I confided, who did eat of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me.
9In the daytime the Lord hath commanded his mercy; and a canticle to him in the night. With me is prayer to the God of my life.
10But you, O Lord, have mercy on me, lifting me up, so that I may give them their punishment.
10 But thou, Jehovah, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
10I will say to God: Thou art my support. Why hast thou forgotten me? and why go I mourning, whilst my enemy afflicteth me?
11By this I see that you have pleasure in me, because my hater does not overcome me.
11 By this I know that thou delightest in me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
11Whilst my bones are broken, my enemies who trouble me have reproached me; Whilst they say to me day by day: Where is thy God?
12And as for me, you are my support in my righteousness, giving me a place before your face for ever.
12 But as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.
12Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me? Hope thou in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
