1 Palaimintas, kuris kreipia dėmesį į vargšą. Nelaimėje išgelbės jį Viešpats.

2 Viešpats saugos ir išlaikys jį gyvą; jis bus palaimintas žemėje. Tu neatiduosi jo priešų valiai.

3 Viešpats sustiprins jį ligos patale; Tu pagydysi jį nuo visų ligų.

4 Sakiau: "Viešpatie, būk man gailestingas! Išgydyk mano sielą, nes Tau nusidėjau!"

5 Mano priešai kalba prieš mane pikta: "Kai jis mirs, ir jo vardas išnyks".

6 Jei kas ateina manęs aplankyti, tuščius žodžius kalba, išėjęs laukan apkalba.

7 Visi, kurie nekenčia manęs, šnibždasi prieš mane, planuoja man pakenkti:

8 "Pikčiausia liga jam prikibo, jis atsigulė ir nebeatsikels".

9 Net ir artimas draugas, kuriuo pasitikėjau, kuris valgė mano duoną, taikosi man įspirti.

10 Viešpatie, būk man gailestingas, pakelk mane, kad jiems atlyginčiau!

11 Iš to žinosiu, jog esi man palankus, jei mano priešas nedžiūgaus prieš mane.

12 O mane Tu palaikai mano nekaltume ir amžiams pastatai savo akivaizdoje.

13 Palaimintas tebūna Viešpats, Izraelio Dievas, per amžių amžius! Amen! Amen!

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

1 Blessed is he who considers the poor.

Yahweh will deliver him in the day of evil.

2 Yahweh will preserve him, and keep him alive.

He shall be blessed on the earth,

and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies.

3 Yahweh will sustain him on his sickbed,

and restore him from his bed of illness.

4 I said, "Yahweh, have mercy on me!

Heal me, for I have sinned against you."

5 My enemies speak evil against me:

"When will he die, and his name perish?"

6 If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood.

His heart gathers iniquity to itself.

When he goes abroad, he tells it.

7 All who hate me whisper together against me.

They imagine the worst for me.

8 "An evil disease", they say, "has afflicted him.

Now that he lies he shall rise up no more."

9 Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted,

who ate bread with me,

has lifted up his heel against me.

10 But you, Yahweh, have mercy on me, and raise me up,

that I may repay them.

11 By this I know that you delight in me,

because my enemy doesn’t triumph over me.

12 As for me, you uphold me in my integrity,

and set me in your presence forever.

13 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel,

from everlasting and to everlasting!

Amen and amen.
