Psalms 41

1 Blessed is he who considers a poor man. Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.

To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. Blessed is he that iudgeth wisely of the poore: the Lord shall deliuer him in ye time of trouble.

2 Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive, and he shall be blessed upon the earth. And thou do not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

The Lord will keepe him, and preserue him aliue: he shalbe blessed vpon the earth, and thou wilt not deliuer him vnto the will of his enemies.

3 Jehovah will support him upon the bed of languishing. Thou will make all his bed in his sickness.

The Lord wil strengthen him vpon ye bed of sorow: thou hast turned al his bed in his sicknes.

4 I said, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me. Heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.

Therefore I saide, Lord haue mercie vpon me: heale my soule, for I haue sinned against thee.

5 My enemies speak evil against me, saying, When will he die, and his name perish?

Mine enemies speake euill of me, saying, When shall he die, and his name perish?

6 And if he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.

And if hee come to see mee, hee speaketh lies, but his heart heapeth iniquitie within him, and when he commeth foorth, he telleth it.

7 All who hate me whisper together against me. Against me they devise my hurt.

All they that hate me, whisper together against me: euen against me do they imagine mine hurt.

8 An evil disease, they say, clings firm to him. And now that he lies he shall rise up no more.

A mischiefe is light vpon him, and he that lyeth, shall no more rise.

9 Yea, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

Yea, my familiar friend, whom I trusted, which did eate of my bread, hath lifted vp the heele against me.

10 But thou, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me, and raise me up that I may requite them.

Therefore, O Lord, haue mercy vpon mee, and raise me vp: so I shall reward them.

11 By this I know that thou delight in me, because my enemy does not triumph over me.

By this I know that thou fauourest me, because mine enemie doth not triumph against me.

12 And as for me, thou uphold me in my integrity, and set me before thy face forever.

And as for me, thou vpholdest me in mine integritie, and doest set me before thy face for euer.

13 Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. Truly, and Truly.

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel worlde without ende. So be it, euen so be it.
