PSALM 41
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1Blessed is he that understandeth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil. 2Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive; he shall be made happy in the land; and thou wilt not deliver him to the will of his enemies. 3Jehovah will sustain him upon the bed of languishing: thou turnest all his bed in his sickness. 4As for me, I said, Jehovah, be gracious unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
5Mine enemies wish me evil: When will he die, and his name perish? 6And if one come to see me, he speaketh falsehood; his heart gathereth wickedness to itself: he goeth abroad, he telleth it. 7All that hate me whisper together against me; against me do they devise my hurt. 8A thing of Belial cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he is laid down, he will rise up no more. 9Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I confided, who did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me. 10But thou, Jehovah, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them. 11By this I know that thou delightest in me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me. 12But as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever. 13Blessed be Jehovah, the God#GodHebrew: Elohim of Israel, from eternity to eternity! Amen, and 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!
