Psalms 41
41
Even My Close Friend
1For the music director: a psalm of David.
2Blessed is the one who considers the wretched— Adonai will deliver him in the evil day.
3Adonai will protect him and keep him alive. He will be made blessed in the land. You will not give him over to the desire of his foes.
4Adonai will strengthen him on his sickbed. May You restore him completely from his bed.
5I said: “Adonai, have mercy on me. Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.”
6My enemies speak evil about me: “When will he die and his name perish?”
7And if someone of them comes to see me, he speaks falsely. He stores up evil in his heart, then he goes out and chatters.
8All who hate me whisper together about me They imagine the worst about me:
9“Something evil was poured into him— he will not get up again from the place where he lies.”
10Even my own close friend, whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.
11But You, Adonai, have mercy on me, and raise me up, so I may repay them.
12By this I know that You delight in me: that my enemy does not shout in triumph over me.
13You uphold me in my integrity and set me before Your face forever.
14Blessed be Adonai, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and amen!

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.
