The LORD will preserve him and keep him alive, and he shallbe blessed upon the earth; and Thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.
3
The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing; Thou wilt turn him on his bed in his sickness.
4
I said, "LORD, be merciful unto me; heal my soul, for I have sinned against Thee."
5
Mine enemies speak evil of me and say, "When shall he die and his name perish?"
6
And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity; his heart gathereth iniquity to itself, and when he goeth out, he telleth it.
7
All that hate me whisper together against me; against me do they devise my hurt.
8
"An evil disease," they say, "cleaveth fast unto him, and now that he lieth down, he shall rise up no more."
9
Yea, mine own familiar friend in whom I trusted, that ate of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
10
But Thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up that I may requite them.
11
By this I know that Thou favorest me: because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
12
And as for me, Thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before Thy face for ever.
