1 - To the Overseer. --A Psalm of David. O the happiness of him Who is acting wisely unto the poor, In a day of evil doth Jehovah deliver him.

2 - Jehovah doth preserve him and revive him, He is happy in the land, And Thou givest him not into the will of his enemies.

3 - Jehovah supporteth on a couch of sickness, All his bed Thou hast turned in his weakness.

4 - I--I said, `O Jehovah, favour me, Heal my soul, for I did sin against Thee,'

5 - Mine enemies say evil of me: When he dieth--his name hath perished!

6 - And if he came to see--vanity he speaketh, His heart gathereth iniquity to itself, He goeth out--at the street he speaketh.

7 - All hating me whisper together against me, Against me they devise evil to me:

8 - A thing of Belial is poured out on him, And because he lay down he riseth not again.

9 - Even mine ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, made great the heel against me,

10 - And Thou, Jehovah, favour me, And cause me to rise, And I give recompence to them.

11 - By this I have known, That Thou hast delighted in me, Because my enemy shouteth not over me.

12 - As to me, in mine integrity, Thou hast taken hold upon me, And causest me to stand before Thee to the age.

13 - Blessed <FI>is<Fi> Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age--and unto the age. Amen and Amen.
