Blessed is he who considers the poor; The Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.

2 J ehová lo guardará, le dará vida y será bienaventurado en la tierra. No lo entregarás a la voluntad de sus enemigos.

The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive, And he will be blessed on the earth; You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

3 J ehová lo sostendrá en el lecho del dolor; ablandará su cama en la enfermedad.

The Lord will strengthen him on his bed of illness; You will sustain him on his sickbed.

4 Y o dije: «Jehová, ten misericordia de mí, sana mi alma, porque contra ti he pecado.»

I said, “ Lord, be merciful to me; Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.”

5 M is enemigos hablan mal de mí, preguntando: «¿Cuándo morirá y perecerá su nombre?»

My enemies speak evil of me: “When will he die, and his name perish?”

6 Y si vienen a verme, hablan mentira; recogen malas noticias y al salir afuera las divulgan.

And if he comes to see me, he speaks lies; His heart gathers iniquity to itself; When he goes out, he tells it.

7 R eunidos murmuran contra mí todos los que me aborrecen; contra mí piensan mal, diciendo:

All who hate me whisper together against me; Against me they devise my hurt.

8 « Cosa maligna se ha apoderado de él; el que cayó en cama no volverá a levantarse.»

“An evil disease,” they say, “clings to him. And now that he lies down, he will rise up no more.”

9 A un el hombre de mi paz, en quien yo confiaba, el que de mi pan comía, alzó el pie contra mí.

Even my own familiar friend in whom I trusted, Who ate my bread, Has lifted up his heel against me.

10 M as tú, Jehová, ten misericordia de mí y hazme levantar, y les daré el pago.

But You, O Lord, be merciful to me, and raise me up, That I may repay them.

11 E n esto conoceré que te he agradado: en que mi enemigo no se alegre de mí.

By this I know that You are well pleased with me, Because my enemy does not triumph over me.

12 E n cuanto a mí, en mi integridad me has sustentado y me has hecho estar delante de ti para siempre.

As for me, You uphold me in my integrity, And set me before Your face forever.

13 ¡ Bendito sea Jehová, el Dios de Israel, por los siglos de los siglos! ¡Amén y amén!

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel From everlasting to everlasting! Amen and Amen.
