To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Blessed [is] he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.
Gelukkig is hy wat die armes oorweeg: die HERE sal hom in die tyd van benoudheid red.

AFR DVK
2
The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; [and] he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.
Die HERE sal hom bewaar, en hom in die lewe hou; en hy sal geseënd word op die aarde: en U sal hom nie oorgee aan die wil van sy vyande nie.
3
The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
Die HERE sal hom versterk op die siekbed: U sal sy hele bed in sy siekte verander.
4
I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
Ek het gesê, HERE, wees my genadig: genees my siel; want ek het teen U gesondig.
5
Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?
My vyande spreek kwaad van my, Wanneer sal hy sterwe, en sy naam vergaan?
6
And if he come to see [me], he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; [when] he goeth abroad, he telleth [it].
En as hy kom om te sien, spreek hy ydelheid: sy hart versamel ongeregtigheid by homself; wanneer hy uitgaan, vertel hy dit.
7
All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.
Almal wat my haat, fluister saam teen my: teen my bedink hulle my leed.
8
An evil disease, [say they], cleaveth fast unto him: and [now] that he lieth he shall rise up no more.
’n Boos siekte, sê hulle, kleef aan hom: en nou hy lê, sal hy nie meer opstaan nie.
9
Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me.
Ja, my eie bekende vriend, op wie ek vertrou het, wat van my brood geëet het, het sy hiel teen my opgehef.
10
But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
Maar U, o HERE, wees my genadig, en wek my op, dat ek dit aan hulle mag vergeld.
11
By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
Hierdeur weet ek dat U behae in my het, omdat my vyand nie oor my juig nie.
12
And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.
En wat my betref, U ondersteun my in my opregtheid, en sit my voor u aangesig vir ewig.
13
Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
Geseënd is die HERE, die God van Israel, van ewigheid tot ewigheid. Amen, en Amen.
