King James Version
Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
But thou, O Lord, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.

By this I know that thou delightest in me, Because mine enemy doth not triumph over me. And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, And settest me before thy face for ever. Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen. ”

As for you, O LORD, have mercy on me and raise me up, so I can pay them back!” By this I know that you are pleased with me, for my enemy does not triumph over me. As for me, you uphold me because of my integrity; you allow me permanent access to your presence. The LORD God of Israel deserves praise in the future and forevermore! We agree! We agree!”
“In the daytime the Lord hath commanded his mercy; and a canticle to him in the night. With me is prayer to the God of my life. I will say to God: Thou art my support. Why hast thou forgotten me? and why go I mourning, whilst my enemy afflicteth me? Whilst my bones are broken, my enemies who trouble me have reproached me; Whilst they say to me day by day: Where is thy God? Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me? Hope thou in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance, and my God. ”

May the Lord God of Israel be praised, through eternal days and for ever. So be it. So be it.”
