1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
2 Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive,
3 Jehovah will support him upon the couch of languishing:
4 I said, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me:
5 Mine enemies speak evil against me,
6 And if he come to see
7 All that hate me whisper together against me;
8 An evil disease,
9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted,
10 But thou, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me, and raise me up,
11 By this I know that thou delightest in me,
12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity,
13 Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel,
