Psalms 23 : 5 - 41 : 9
5 | You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. |
6 | Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever. |
1 | Blessed is he who considers the poor; The LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. |
2 | 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 | The LORD will strengthen him on his bed of illness; You will sustain him on his sickbed. |
4 | I said, "LORD, be merciful to me; Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You." |
5 | My enemies speak evil of me: "When will he die, and his name perish?" |
6 | And if he comes to see me, he speaks lies; His heart gathers iniquity to itself; When he goes out, he tells it. |
7 | All who hate me whisper together against me; Against me they devise my hurt. |
8 | "An evil disease," they say, "clings to him. And now that he lies down, he will rise up no more." |
9 | Even my own familiar friend in whom I trusted, Who ate my bread, Has lifted up his heel against me. |
