Yea, even mine own familiar friend, whom I trusted, who did also eat my bread, hath lift up his heel against me.

{To the Chanter, a Psalm of David} Blessed is he, that considereth the poor; the LORD shall deliver him in the time of trouble.

The LORD shall refresh him, when he lieth sick upon his bed, yea thou makest his bed in all his sickness.

I said, "LORD be merciful unto me, heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee!"

The LORD shall preserve him, and keep him alive: he shall make him to prosper upon earth, and shall not deliver him into the will of his enemies.

O blessed be the LORD God of Israel, from henceforth and forevermore. Amen. Amen.

But be thou merciful unto me, O LORD; raise thou me up, and I shall reward them.

And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity, and his heart conceiveth falsehood within himself; and when he cometh forth, he telleth it.

By this I know thou favourest me, that my enemy doth not triumph against me.

Thou hast upholden me because of my innocency, and set me before thy face forever.

Mine enemies speak evil upon me, "When shall he die, and his name perish?"

All mine enemies whisper together against me; even against me do they imagine this evil.

They have given a wicked sentence upon me, "When he lieth, he shall rise up no more."
