The Psalmist in Sickness Complains of Enemies and False Friends. For the choir director. A Psalm of David. 1How blessed is he who considers the helpless; The LORD will deliver him in a day of trouble.
2The LORD will protect him and keep him alive,
3The LORD will sustain him upon his sickbed;
4As for me, I said, O LORD, be gracious to me;
5My enemies speak evil against me,
6And when he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood;
7All who hate me whisper together against me;
8A wicked thing is poured out upon him,
9Even my close friend in whom I trusted,
10But You, O LORD, be gracious to me and raise me up,
11By this I know that You are pleased with me,
12As for me, You uphold me in my integrity,
