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

1For the leader. A psalm of David:
2How blessed are those who care for the poor!
When calamity comes, Adonai will save them.
3Adonai will preserve them, keep them alive,
and make them happy in the land.
You will not hand them over
to the whims of their enemies.
4Adonai sustains them on their sickbed;
when they lie ill, you make them recover.
5I said, “Adonai, have pity on me!
Heal me, for I have sinned against you!”
6My enemies say the worst about me:
“When will he die and his name disappear?”
7When they come to see me they speak insincerely,
their hearts meanwhile gathering falsehoods;
then they go out and spread bad reports.
8All who hate me whisper together against me,
imagining the worst about me.
9“A fatal disease has attached itself to him;
now that he lies ill, he will never get up.”
10Even my close friend, on whom I relied,
who shared my table, has turned against me.
11But you, Adonai, have pity on me,
put me on my feet, so I can pay them back.
12I will know you are pleased with me
if my enemy doesn’t defeat me.
13You uphold me because of my innocence
you establish me in your presence forever.
14Blessed be Adonai the God of Isra’el
from eternity past to eternity future.
Amen. Amen.
