PSALM 41
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician,
A Psalm of David.
1Blessed is he that wisely doth
the poor man's case consider;
For when the time of trouble is,
the Lord will him deliver.
2God will him keep, yea, save alive;
on earth he bless'd shall live;
And to his enemies' desire
thou wilt him not up give.
3God will give strength when he on bed
of languishing doth mourn;
And in his sickness sore, O Lord,
thou all his bed wilt turn.
4I said, O Lord, do thou extend
thy mercy unto me;
O do thou heal my soul; for why?
I have offended thee.
5Those that to me are enemies,
of me do evil say,
When shall he die, that so his name
may perish quite away?
6To see me if he comes, he speaks
vain words: but then his heart
Heaps mischief to it, which he tells,
when forth he doth depart.
7My haters jointly whispering,
'gainst me my hurt devise.
8Mischief, say they, cleaves fast to him;
he li'th, and shall not rise.
9Yea, ev'n mine own familiar friend,
on whom I did rely,
Who ate my bread, ev'n he his heel
against me lifted high.
10But, Lord, be merciful to me,
and up again me raise,
That I may justly them requite
according to their ways.
11By this I know that certainly
I favour'd am by thee;
Because my hateful enemy
triumphs not over me.
12But as for me, thou me uphold'st
in mine integrity;
And me before thy countenance
thou sett'st continually.
13The Lord, the God of Israel,
be bless'd for ever then,
From age to age eternally.
Amen, yea, and amen.

Psalms 41
41
Victory over Betrayal
(John 13:18–30)
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
1Blessed is the one who cares for the poor;
the Lord will deliver him in the day of trouble.
2The Lord will protect and preserve him;
He will bless him in the land
and refuse to surrender him
to the will of his foes.
3The Lord will sustain him on his bed of illness
and restore him from his bed of sickness.
4I said, “O Lord, be gracious to me;
heal me, for I have sinned against You.”
5My enemies say with malice:
“When will he die and be forgotten?”
6My visitor speaks falsehood;
he gathers slander in his heart;
he goes out and spreads it abroad.
7All who hate me whisper against me;
they imagine the worst for me:
8“A vile disease has been poured into him;
he will never get up from where he lies!”
9Even my close friend whom I trusted,
the one who shared my bread,
has lifted up his heel against me.#41:9 Cited in John 13:18
10But You, O Lord, be gracious to me and raise me up,
that I may repay them.
11By this I know that You delight in me,
for my enemy does not triumph over me.
12In my integrity You uphold me
and set me in Your presence forever.
13Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting.
Amen and Amen.
