PSALM 41
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of
David.
1 Blessed is
he that considereth the poora: the LORD will deliver him in time
of trouble. 2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and
he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will
of his enemies. 3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of
languishing: thou wilt makeb all his bed in his sickness. 4
I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against
thee.
5Mine
enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish? 6
And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth
iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it. 7
All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my
hurt. 8 An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him:
and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more. 9 Yea,
mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath
lifted up his heel against me. 10 But thou, O LORD, be
merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them. 11 By
this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over
me. 12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and
settest me before thy face for ever. 13 Blessed be the LORD
God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
