2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and you will not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.

3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: you will make all his bed in his sickness.

4 I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against you.

I said, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me. Heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.

5 Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?

My enemies speak evil against me, saying, When will he die, and his name perish?

6 And if he comes to see me, he speaks vanity: his heart gathers iniquity to itself; when he goes abroad, he tells it.

And if he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.

7 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.

8 An evil disease, say they, cleaves fast unto him: and now that he lies he shall rise up no more.

9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

Yea, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

10 But you, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

But thou, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me, and raise me up that I may requite them.

11 By this I know that you favour me, because mine enemy does not triumph over me.

By this I know that thou delight in me, because my enemy does not triumph over me.

12 And as for me, you uphold me in mine integrity, and set me before your face for ever.

And as for me, thou uphold me in my integrity, and set me before thy face forever.

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

Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. Truly, and Truly.
