Psalms 41
41
To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David.
1O the happiness of him Who is acting wisely unto the poor, In a day of evil doth Jehovah deliver him.
2 Jehovah doth preserve him and revive him, He is happy in the land, And Thou givest him not into the will of his enemies.
3 Jehovah supporteth on a couch of sickness, All his bed Thou hast turned in his weakness.
4I — I said, ‘O Jehovah, favour me, Heal my soul, for I did sin against Thee,’
5Mine enemies say evil of me: When he dieth — his name hath perished!
6And if he came to see — vanity he speaketh, His heart gathereth iniquity to itself, He goeth out — at the street he speaketh.
7All hating me whisper together against me, Against me they devise evil to me:
8A thing of Belial is poured out on him, And because he lay down he riseth not again.
9Even mine ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, made great the heel against me,
10And Thou, Jehovah, favour me, And cause me to rise, And I give recompence to them.
11By this I have known, That Thou hast delighted in me, Because my enemy shouteth not over me.
12As to me, in mine integrity, Thou hast taken hold upon me, And causest me to stand before Thee to the age.
13Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age — and unto the age. Amen and Amen.

Psalms 41
41
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!
