1 To the overseer: chanting of David. Happy he attending to the weak one: in the day of evil Jehovah will deliver him.
2 Jehovah will watch him and preserve him alive; he shall be happy upon the earth, and thou wilt not give him to the soul of his enemies.
3 Jehovah will support him upon a bed of sickness: thou turnedst all his bed in his sickness.
4 I said, O Jehovah, pity me, heal my soul, for I sinned against thee.
5 Mine enemies will say evil to me: When shall he die, and his name perish?
6 And if he came to see, he will speak vanity: his heart will gather vanity to him; he will go forth without; he will speak.
7 Together, all hating me, will whisper against me: against one they will purpose evil to me.
8 A word of Belial will press upon him: and when he lay down, he will not add to rise up.
9 Also the man of my peace whom I trusted in him, eating my bread, magnified the heel against me.
