Chapter 41

1


 

   For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Blessed is he that considereth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.  

 

 

-

2


 

  Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive, And he shall be blessed upon the earth; And deliver not thou him unto the will of his enemies.  

 

 

-

3


 

  Jehovah will support him upon the couch of languishing: Thou makest all his bed in his sickness.  

 

 

-

4


 

  I said, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me: Heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.  

 

 

-

5


 

  Mine enemies speak evil against me, [saying], When will he die, and his name perish?  

 

 

-

6


 

  And if he come to see [me], he speaketh falsehood; His heart gathereth iniquity to itself: When he goeth abroad, he telleth it.  

 

 

-

7


 

  All that hate me whisper together against me; Against me do they devise my hurt.  

 

 

-

8


 

  An evil disease, [say they], cleaveth fast unto him; And now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.  

 

 

-

9


 

  Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, Who did eat of my bread, Hath lifted up his heel against me.  

 

 

-

10


 

  But thou, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me, and raise me up, That I may requite them.  

 

 

-

11


 

  By this I know that thou delightest in me, Because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.  

 

 

-

12


 

  And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, And settest me before thy face for ever.  

 

 

-

13


 

  Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
