For the choir director. A Psalm of David. 1How blessed is he who considers the helpless; 2The LORD will protect him, and keep him alive, 3The LORD will sustain him upon his sickbed; 4As for me, I said, “O LORD, be gracious to me; 5My enemies speak evil against me, 6And when he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood; 7All who hate me whisper together against me; 8“A wicked thing is poured out upon him, 9Even my close friend, in whom I trusted, 10But Thou, O LORD, be gracious to me, and raise me up, 11By this I know that Thou art pleased with me, 12As for me, Thou dost uphold me in my integrity, 13Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, Calif.
