Psalms

大卫的诗，交与伶长。

1眷顾贫穷的有福了！ 他遭难的日子，耶和华必搭救他。

2耶和华必保全他，使他存活； 他必在地上享福。 求你不要把他交给仇敌，遂其所愿。

3他病重在榻，耶和华必扶持他； 他在病中，你必给他铺床。

4我曾说：耶和华啊，求你怜恤我，医治我！ 因为我得罪了你。

5我的仇敌用恶言议论我说： 他几时死，他的名才灭亡呢？

6他来看我就说假话； 他心存奸恶，走到外边才说出来。

7一切恨我的，都交头接耳地议论我； 他们设计要害我。

8他们说：有怪病贴在他身上； 他已躺卧，必不能再起来。

9连我知己的朋友， 我所倚靠、吃过我饭的也用脚踢我。

10耶和华啊，求你怜恤我， 使我起来，好报复他们！

11因我的仇敌不得向我夸胜， 我从此便知道你喜爱我。

12你因我纯正就扶持我， 使我永远站在你的面前。

13耶和华—以色列的 神是应当称颂的， 从亘古直到永远。阿们！阿们！

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

1Blessed is the one who cares for the poor;the LORD will deliver him in the day of trouble.

2The LORD will protect and preserve him;He will bless him in the landand refuse to give him overto the will of his foes.

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

4I said, “O 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?”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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