1Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. 2The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. 3The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness. 4I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee. 5Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?
6ινα τι περιλυποϲ ει η ψυχη μου και ϊνα τι ϲυνταραϲϲειϲ με ελπιϲον επι τον θν οτι εξομολογηϲομαι αυτω ϲωτηριον του προϲωπου ϲου ο θϲ μου 7προϲ εμαυτον η ψυχη μου εταραχθη δια τουτο μνηϲθηϲομαι ϲου κε εκ γηϲ ιορδανου και ερμωνιειμ απο ορουϲ μεικρου 8αβυϲϲοϲ αβυϲϲον επικαλειται ειϲ φωνην των καταρακτων ϲου παντεϲ οι μετεωριϲμοι ϲου και τα κυματα ϲου επ εμε διηλθον 9ημεραϲ εντελειται κϲ το ελεοϲ αυτου και νυκτοϲ δηλωϲει παρ εμοι προϲευχη τω θω τηϲ ζωηϲ μ(ου) 10ερω τω θω αντιλημπτωρ μου ει δια τι μου επελαθου ινα τι ϲκυθρωπαζων πορευομαι εν τω εκθλιβειν τον εχθρον μου
6And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it. 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, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me. 10But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
11εν τω καταθλαϲαι τα οϲτα μου ωνειδιϲαν με οι θλιβοντεϲ με εν τω λεγειν αυτουϲ μοι κατεκαϲτη ημεραν που εϲτιν ο θϲ ϲου 12
11By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me. 12And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever. 13Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
