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.

1 Al Músico principal: Salmo de David. BIENAVENTURADO el que piensa en el pobre: En el día malo lo librará Jehová.

2 Jehová lo guardé, y le dé vida: sea bienaventurado en la tierra, Y no lo entregues á la voluntad de sus enemigos.

3 Jehová lo sustentará sobre el lecho del dolor: Mullirás toda su cama en su enfermedad.

4 Yo dije: Jehová, ten misericordia de mí; Sana mi alma, porque contra ti he pecado.

5 Mis enemigos dicen mal de mí preguntando: ¿Cuándo morirá, y perecerá su nombre?

6 Y si venía á ver me, hablaba mentira: Su corazón se amontonaba iniquidad; Y salido fuera, hablába la.

7 Reunidos murmuraban contra mí todos los que me aborrecían: Contra mí pensaban mal, diciendo de mí:

8 Cosa pestilencial de él se ha apoderado; Y el que cayó en cama, no volverá á levantarse.

9 Aun el hombre de mi paz, en quien yo confiaba, el que de mi pan comía, Alzó contra mí el calcañar.

10 Mas tú, Jehová, ten misericordia de mí, y hazme levantar, Y daréles el pago.

11 En esto habré conocido que te he agradado, Que mi enemigo no se holgará de mí.

12 En cuanto á mí, en mi integridad me has sustentado, Y me has hecho estar delante de ti para siempre.

13 Bendito sea Jehová, el Dios de Israel, Por siglos de siglos. Amén y Amén.
