1 Happy are those who consider the weak; 2He will keep them safe, happy, and long in the land, 3The LORD will sustain them on bed of languishing; 4For this cause I say, “LORD, show me your favour; 5My enemies speak of me nothing but evil, 6When they comes to see me, their words ring hollow; 7In secret they whisper together against me, 8“Some fatal disease has fastened upon him; 9My most trusted friend, on whom I relied, 10But do you, LORD, graciously raise me up, 11By this will I know you delight in me: 12For my innocence you uphold me, 13*Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,*
