Psalms 41

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.

Tehillim (Psalms) 41
41
1Blessed is he who considers the poor; יהוה does deliver him in a day of evil.
2יהוה does guard him and keep him alive; He is blessed on the earth, And You do not hand him over To the desire of his enemies.
3יהוה sustains him on his sickbed; In his weakness on his bed You bring a change.
4As for me, I said, “O יהוה, show me favour; Heal me, for I have sinned against You.”
5My enemies speak evil of me, “When he dies his name shall perish.”
6And when one comes to visit, he speaks falsely; His heart gathers wickedness to itself; He goes out, he speaks of it.
7All who hate me whisper together against me; They plot evil to me, saying,
8A matter of Beliya‛al is poured out on him, That when he lies down, he would not rise again.
9Even my own friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, Has lifted up his heel against me.
10But You, יהוה, show me favour and raise me up, And let me repay them.
11By this I know that You did delight in me, Because my enemy does not shout for joy over me.
12And I, You uphold me in my integrity, And set me before Your face forever.
13Blessed be יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl From everlasting to everlasting! Amĕn and Amĕn.
