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."
6 My enemies have spoken evils against me. When will he die and his name perish?
7 And when he came in to see me, he was speaking emptiness. His heart gathered iniquity to itself. He went outside, and he was speaking in the same way.
8 All my enemies were whispering against me. They were thinking up evils against me.
