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!

Psalm 41
To the Overcomer, A Psalm of David.
1¶ Blessed is he that understands regarding the poor; the Lord will deliver him in the day of evil.
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 soften all his bed in his sickness.
4I said, Lord, be merciful unto me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
5¶ My enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die and his name perish?
6And if he came to see me, he spoke lies: his heart gathered iniquity to itself, and when he goes out, he tells it.
7All that hate me congregate together and murmur against me; against me do they devise my hurt.
8A disease of Belial, they say, cleaves fast unto him, and now that he lies he shall rise up no more.
9Even the man of my peace, in whom I trusted, who ate of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.
10But thou, O Lord, be merciful unto me and raise me up that I may requite them.
11In this I shall know that I have pleased thee, that my enemy does not triumph over me.
12And as for me, thou sustained me in my integrity and hast seated me before thy face for ever.
13Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
