Berean Study Bible

International Standard Version

1For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Blessed is the one who cares for the poor; the LORD will deliver him in the day of trouble.

1Blessed is the one who is considerate of the destitute; the LORD will deliver him when the times are evil.

2The LORD will protect and preserve him; He will bless him in the land and refuse to surrender him to the will of his foes.

2The LORD will protect him and keep him alive; he will be blessed in the land; and he will not be handed over to the desires of his enemies.

3The LORD will sustain him on his bed of illness and restore him from his bed of sickness.

3The LORD will uphold him even on his sickbed; you will transform his bed of illness into health.

4I said, “O LORD, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against You.”

4As for me, I said, "LORD, be gracious to me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you!"

5My enemies say with malice: “When will he die and be forgotten?”

5As for my enemies, with malice they said, "When will he die and memory of his name perish?"

6My visitor speaks falsehood; he gathers slander in his heart; he goes out and spreads it abroad.

6The one who comes to visit me speaks lies; in his heart he thinks slanderous things about me and goes around spreading them.

7All who hate me whisper against me; they imagine the worst for me:

7As for all who hate me, they whisper together against me; they desire to do me harm.

8“A vile disease has been poured into him; he will never get up from where he lies!”

8They say, "Wickedness is entrenched in him. Once he is brought low, he will not rise again."

9Even my close friend whom I trusted, the one who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

9As for my best friend, the one in whom I trusted, the one who ate my bread, even he has insulted me!

10But You, O LORD, be gracious to me and raise me up, that I may repay them.

10But you, LORD, be gracious to me and raise me up so that I may pay them back!

11By this I know that You delight in me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.

11In this way I will know that you are pleased with me, and that my enemies will not shout in triumph over me.

12In my integrity You uphold me and set me in Your presence forever.

12As for me, you will maintain my just cause, and you will cause me to stand in your presence forever.

13Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.

13Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, from eternity to eternity. Amen and amen!
