\d A psalm written by David for the choir director
|
|
\b
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 1 How fortunate are those who provide for the poor;
|
|
\q2 Yahweh will rescue those people when they have troubles.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 Yahweh will protect them and allow them to live for a long time.
|
|
\q2 He will enable them to be happy in the land of Israel
|
|
\q2 and will rescue them from their enemies.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 When they are sick, Yahweh will strengthen them
|
|
\q2 and will heal them.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 When I was sick, I said, "Yahweh, act mercifully toward me and heal me;
|
|
\q2 I know that I am sick because I have sinned against you."
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 My enemies say cruel things about me;
|
|
\q2 they say, "How soon will he die, and then everyone will forget about him?"
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 When my enemies come to me, they pretend to be concerned about me.
|
|
\q2 They eagerly listen to all the bad news about me.
|
|
\q2 Then they go away and tell everyone what is happening to me.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 All those who hate me whisper to others about me,
|
|
\q2 and they hope that very bad things will happen to me.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 They say, "He will soon die because of his being sick;
|
|
\q2 he will never get up from his bed before he dies."
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 Even a very close friend, whom I trusted very much,
|
|
\q2 who often ate with me,
|
|
\q2 has betrayed me.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 But Yahweh, act mercifully to me, and enable me to become healthy again.
|
|
\q2 When you do that, I will be able to pay back my enemies.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 If you enable me to do that, with the result that my enemies do not defeat me,
|
|
\q2 I will know that you are pleased with me.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 I will know that it is because I have done what is right that you have helped me,
|
|
\q2 and I will know that you will enable me to be with you forever.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 13 Praise Yahweh, the God whom we Israelites worship;
|
|
\q2 Praise him forever!
|
|
\q2 Amen! I desire that it will be so!
