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.

1Happy are those who are concerned for the poor;
the LORD will help them when they are in trouble.
2The LORD will protect them and preserve their lives;
he will make them happy in the land;
he will not abandon them to the power of their enemies.
3The LORD will help them when they are sick
and will restore them to health.
4I said, “I have sinned against you, LORD;
be merciful to me and heal me.”
5My enemies say cruel things about me.
They want me to die and be forgotten.
6Those who come to see me are not sincere;
they gather bad news about me
and then go out and tell it everywhere.
7All who hate me whisper to each other about me,
they imagine the worst about#41.7 imagine the worst about; or make evil plans to harm. me.
8They say, “He is fatally ill;
he will never leave his bed again.”

Mt 26.23; Mk 14.18; Lk 22.21; Jn 13.18 Even my best friend, the one I trusted most,
the one who shared my food,
has turned against me.
10Be merciful to me, LORD, and restore my health,
and I will pay my enemies back.
11They will not triumph over me,
and I will know that you are pleased with me.
12You will help me, because I do what is right;
you will keep me in your presence for ever.
