English Translation
For the leader. A psalm of David. Happy is someone who is thoughtful of the wretched;
in bad times may GOD keep themathem I.e., the thoughtful person. from harm. May GOD guard them and preserve them;
and may they be thought happy in the land.
Do not subject them to the will of their enemies. GOD will sustain them on their sickbed;
You shall wholly transform their bed of suffering.bYou shall wholly transform their bed of suffering Meaning of Heb. uncertain. I said, “O ETERNAL One, have mercy on me,
heal me, for I have sinned against You.” My enemies speak evilly of me,
“When will he die and his name perish?” Each of them who comes to visit speaks falsely,
storing up evil thoughts—
speaking them once outside. All my enemies whisper together against me,
imagining the worst for me. “Something baneful has settled in him;
he’ll not rise from his bed again.” My ally in whom I trusted,
even someone who shares my bread,
has been utterly false to me.chas been utterly false to me Meaning of Heb. uncertain. But You, O ETERNAL One, have mercy on me;
let me rise again and repay them. Then shall I know that You are pleased with me:
when my enemy cannot shout in triumph over me. You will support me because of my integrity,
and let me abide in Your presence forever. Blessed is the ETERNAL, God of Israel,
from eternity to eternity.
Amen and Amen.
