Psalms 41
- 1Blessed is he who considers the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
- 2The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth: and you will not deliver him to the will of his enemies.
- 3The Lord will strengthen him on the bed of languishing: you will make all his bed in his sickness.
- 4I said, Lord, be merciful to me: heal my soul. For I have sinned against you.
- 5My enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?
- 6And if he comes to see me, he speaks lies: his heart gathers wrongdoing to itself. When he goes outside, he tells it.
- 7All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they plan my hurt.
- 8An evil disease, say they, clings fast to him: and now that he lies he shall rise up no more.
- 9Yes, my own close friend, who I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.
- 10But you, O Lord, be merciful to me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.
- 11By this I know that you favor me, because my enemy does not triumph over me.
- 12And as for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me before your face for ever.
- 13Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
