Bowed or bended?

Every morning the bishops' conference media office tweets the readings of the day. (They condense the readings into a 140 character message.) Today's tweet reads: "The LORD raises up those who were bowed down; the LORD loves the just. The LORD protects strangers."

I was wondering (See: New beef about revisions in the revised Roman Missal), if that should be corrected to read "The LORD raises up those who were bended down."
