2Yahweh will preserve him, and keep him alive,
3Yahweh will support him upon the couch of languishing:
4I said, O Yahweh, have mercy upon me:
5Mine enemies speak evil against me, [saying],
6And if he come to see [me], he speaketh falsehood; His heart gathereth iniquity to itself:
7All that hate me whisper together against me; Against me do they devise my hurt.
8An evil disease, [say they], cleaveth fast unto him; And now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.
9Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted,
10But thou, O Yahweh, have mercy upon me, and raise me up,
11By this I know that thou delightest in me,
12And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity,
13Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel,
