019:041:001
Blessed is he that considereth the poor:
the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.

019:041:002
The LORD will preserve him,
and keep him alive;
and he shall be blessed upon the earth:
and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.

019:041:003
The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing:
thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

019:041:004
I said,
LORD,
be merciful unto me:
heal my soul;
for I have sinned against thee.

019:041:005
Mine enemies speak evil of me,
When shall he die,
and his name perish?

019:041:006
And if he come to see me,
he speaketh vanity:
his heart gathereth iniquity to itself;
when he goeth abroad,
he telleth it.

019:041:007
All that hate me whisper together against me:
against me do they devise my hurt.

019:041:008
An evil disease,
say they,
cleaveth fast unto him:
and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

019:041:009
Yea,
mine own familiar friend,
in whom I trusted,
which did eat of my bread,
hath lifted up his heel against me.

019:041:010
But thou,
O LORD,
be merciful unto me,
and raise me up,
that I may requite them.

019:041:011
By this I know that thou favourest me,
because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

019:041:012
And as for me,
thou upholdest me in mine integrity,
and settest me before thy face for ever.

019:041:013
Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting,
and to everlasting.
Amen,
and Amen.
