Tehillim (Psa) 41
41
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.

Psalm 41
For the choir director; a psalm by David.
1Blessed is the one who has concern for helpless people.
The Lord will rescue him in times of trouble.
2The Lord will protect him and keep him alive.
He will be blessed in the land.
Do not place him at the mercy of his enemies.
3The Lord will support him on his sickbed.
You will restore this person to health when he is ill.
4I said, “O Lord, have pity on me!
Heal my soul because I have sinned against you.”
5My enemies say terrible things about me:
“When will he die, and when will his family name disappear?”
6When one of them comes to visit me, he speaks foolishly.
His heart collects gossip.
⌞Then⌟ he leaves to tell others.
7Everyone who hates me whispers about me.
They think evil things about me and say,
8“A devilish disease has attached itself to him.
He will never leave his sickbed.”
9Even my closest friend whom I trusted,
the one who ate my bread,
has lifted his heel against me.
10Have pity on me, O Lord!
Raise me up so that I can pay them back
11and my enemy cannot shout in triumph over me.
When you do this, I know that you are pleased with me.
12You defend my integrity,
and you set me in your presence forever.
13Thank the Lord God of Israel through all eternity!
Amen and amen!
