Psalms 41

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

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in the 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 preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him to 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 will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

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

I said, LORD, be merciful to me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

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

My enemies speak evil of me, 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 he cometh to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

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

All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.

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

An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast to him: and now that he lieth he shall rise no more.

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

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

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

But thou, O LORD, be merciful to me, and raise me up, that I may repay 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 favourest me, because my enemy doth not triumph over me.

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

And as for me, thou upholdest me in my integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.

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

Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
