1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David himself.
2 Blessed is he who shows understanding toward the needy and the poor. The Lord will deliver him in the evil day.
3 May the Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth. And may he not hand him over to the will of his adversaries.
4 May the Lord bring him help on his bed of sorrow. In his infirmity, you have changed his entire covering.
5 I said, "O Lord, be merciful to me. Heal my soul, because I have sinned against you."
