Psalm 41
41
O Lord, Be Gracious to Me
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
1 #
Prov. 14:21 Blessed is the one who considers the poor!#41:1 Or weak
#
Ps. 37:19
In the day of trouble the Lord delivers him;
2the Lord protects him and keeps him alive;
he is called blessed in the land;
you #Ps. 27:12do not give him up to the will of his enemies.
3The Lord sustains him on his sickbed;
in his illness you restore him to full health.#41:3 Hebrew you turn all his bed
4As for me, I said, “O Lord, #Ps. 4:1 be gracious to me;
#
Ps. 6:2; 147:3; 2 Chr. 30:20 heal me,#41:4 Hebrew my soul for I have sinned against you!”
5My enemies say of me in malice,
“When will he die, and his name perish?”
6And when one comes to see me, #Ps. 12:2; 144:8he utters empty words,
while his heart gathers iniquity;
when he goes out, he tells it abroad.
7All who hate me whisper together about me;
they imagine the worst for me.#41:7 Or they devise evil against me
8They say, “A deadly thing is poured out#41:8 Or has fastened on him;
he will not rise again from where he lies.”
9Even my #Ps. 55:12, 13, 20; Job 19:13, 14, 19; Jer. 9:4; 20:10; Mic. 7:5; [2 Sam. 15:12] close friend in whom I trusted,
who #Cited John 13:18ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me.
10But you, O Lord, be gracious to me,
and raise me up, that I may repay them!
11By this I know that #[2 Sam. 15:25, 26]you delight in me:
my enemy will not shout in triumph over me.
12But #Ps. 63:8 you have upheld me because of #Ps. 26:1 my integrity,
and #Job 36:7 set me in your presence #Ps. 23:6forever.
13 #
Luke 1:68; [Ps. 72:18, 19; 89:52; 106:48; 150:6] Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting!
Amen and Amen.

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.
